Responding to the European Commission warning
that Brexit trade talks could be delayed until March, Liberal Democrats Brexit
spokesperson Alistair Carmichael said:
“It has become increasingly obvious that the
arbitrary deadline Boris Johnson has set for negotiating the future
relationship between the EU and UK is woefully unrealistic.
“With business already in uproar about the Tories’
plans to end pan-European regulatory alignment, the Prime Minister is steering
the UK towards some heavy storms.
“People deserve better than a future where a Prime
Minister willingly threatens jobs, the environment and the NHS. It is essential
that the transition period can be extended to prevent this devastating prospect.”
