LONDON - The prospect of a “no deal” Brexit was fast becoming the central battle of the race to succeed Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday, as environment minister Michael Gove became the latest candidate to declare.
“I will fight for a fairer deal in Brussels ... if not I will be clear we will leave on WTO terms in October,” former Brexit minister Dominic Raab, who bookmakers rank as the second favorite to win, told BBC TV. “I am ready to unite the Conservative and Unionist Party, ready to deliver Brexit and ready to lead this great country,” he said.
Highlighting the deep splits within the governing party over the way forward on Brexit, several senior Conservatives, including leadership candidate Rory Stewart, on Sunday warned against pursuing the policy of leaving without a deal. Hammond said he could not support a no-deal strategy but declined to say what he would do if there was a vote of confidence in a government which adopted that policy.
