Read our privacy policy Ex-Brexit secretary David Davis has confirmed he will vote against any deal with the EU based on Theresa May’s ‘Chequers’ compromise. “We will be under the rule of the European Union in respect of all our manufactured goods and agri-foods, that’s a really serious concession – what about ‘take back control’, it doesn’t work.” French minister Nathalie Loiseau says May's Brexit plan is not possible International trade secretary Liam Fox later defended the Chequers proposal, arguing that if a voter had opted to leave the EU at the 2016 referendum, then it would be a “no brainer” that they would prefer Ms May’s plan to staying in the EU. Sir Lynton is said to have ordered allies to work with Mr Baker and other hardline Brexiteers in the European Research Group of Tory MPs – chaired by Mr Rees-Mogg – to bring down Ms May’s Chequers proposal, something that could well lead to her fall. David Canxini will partner up with ex-Brexit minister Mr Baker, a key organiser in the Conservative Leave campaign ahead of the 2016 referendum, with one potential plan to revive the campaign group Change Britain, which some see as possible future platform for a Boris Johnson leadership campaign.
