The “Times” newspaper said that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised this morning that the Brexit deal will open a new page in Britain’s relationship with Europe, but he faced criticism from members of Parliament over its lack of provisions for the services sector.
As the House of Commons discusses a free trade agreement with the European Union, Theresa May said that although she would support it, she was disappointed that it contained so few services, according to the British newspaper.
“We have a deal in trade, which benefits the European Union but not a deal in services, which would have benefited the UK,” said the former prime minister. “It is no longer the case that service providers will have an automatic right to provide services across the European Union. The main area is financial services.”
Theresa May criticized the Labor Party for not supporting the deal she negotiated while she was in Downing Street.
She said the deal does not mean that the UK will be able to “take the European Union out of our lives” and that a whole host of committees is being formed to oversee it.
The only thing that this treaty does not do is exclude the European Union from our lives because there is a whole structure of committees formed, and some of them – like the Association Council – will be able to amend this arrangement, and make decisions on operation and interpretation without, any formal reference to this Parliament.
She emphasized that Britain’s exit from the European Union should not mean isolationism.
The British newspaper “The Guardian” said that all 107 Conservative MPs who were elected for the first time in 2019 support the prime minister’s deal, according to a letter from Peter Gibson, a Darlington lawmaker and one of 107.
