Raab: 'We sought mandate for no-deal'
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab says the Tories sought voters' permission to leave the EU with or without a deal during the last general election.
Speaking to the 麻豆官网首页入口 during a trip to Canada, he said: "Every Conservative stood on a manifesto which included the language and provision that no deal would be better than a bad deal.
"We didn鈥檛 rule out no deal, we specifically sought voters鈥� permission for that prospectus and that mandate."
He added it was the "will of Parliament" that the EU should leave by 31 October with or without a deal, because MPs had agreed to change UK law to enshrine this as the new Brexit deadline.
