Tory MP Ben Bradley, who voted against the government in January to oppose the Brexit deal, has today said he will vote for the revised plans.
He told the Press Association: “We’ve got the legal text and the attorney general’s advice which makes it clear that the risk has reduced for being tied to something permanently, but it is not totally gone.
“The deal doesn’t fulfil everything we’ve asked for but we have to weigh things up with balance. To me, the reduced risk of being tied into something is preferable at this point to the ever increasing risk of delay or no Brexit at all.
“Parliament is determined to make this as difficult as possible and I’m now at the stage where if we are going to leave on the 29th the only way that’s going to happen is with this deal. I don’t like it but we are going to have to play the ball where it lies as we speak and just get things done.
“I really fear for what could happen. It seems as though this won’t pass tonight, or tomorrow when parliament may have to extend Article 50, which my constituents won’t be happy with.
“The best course of action now is to pass the deal and leave, then we can think about the long term relationship and live to fight another day.”
