Davey on cancelled EU-UK Summit: This is the cost of chaos for Britain

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the news that the UK-EU Summit, scheduled for July 22nd, has been cancelled as a result of Keir Starmer’s resignation, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“This is the cost of chaos for Britain. A crucial opportunity to finally repair the damage of Brexit, grow the economy and cut the cost of living has been thrown into turmoil.

“Andy Burnham must hold these talks as soon as possible, and secure a bold new deal with Europe, including joining the single market.

“That is the best way to get the country back on track and deliver the change that Labour promised.”
