‘I don’t think Brexit will happen’

As the Brexit chaos continues to unfold in Westminster following the Prime Minister’s latest defeat last night, one of her strongest supporters concedes that Brexit may no longer happen.

Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies (pictured) has been a staunch supporter of leaving the European Union (EU), but following Teresa May’s heavy defeat for her departure deal, he said that leaving was unlikely and also took a swipe at colleagues.

He posted on his Facebook wall last night: “I expected it to be defeated but not by such a margin. Left me very disappointed. I don’t mind being on the losing side but not this sort of annihilation. Can’t do much about it though.

“Not certain where this leaves Brexit, but I do now think that the UK will not leave the European Union at all. And the irony is that it was those most keen to leave that have probably killed off Brexit altogether.

“Bit of talk about a General Election. Still don’t think it’s more than a possibility but the odds have been shortened. Prefer it to a re-run of the EU Referendum though. It’s an odd world when I see my colleagues most enthusiastic about Leave to be joining the Labour Party to defeat a deal which would have actually delivered Brexit. Funny old world.”

One thing is for certain though, Brexit will continue to dominate the news for days to come.
