China News Service London, January 9 -- A number of cabinet ministers of the British government spoke at a cabinet meeting on the 8th local time, opposing a "no-deal Brexit". Employment and Pensions Minister Amber Rudd said that if Britain leaves the EU without a deal, history will see these ministers as sinners.
According to the BBC, at a cabinet meeting on the same day, Ruder believed that a "no-deal Brexit" would turn Britain into an insecure country, and history would regard the government as a sinner. She hopes that the British Parliament will reach as important a consensus as possible so that Brexit can proceed under the guarantee of a legal agreement.
Business Secretary Greg Clark said a "no-deal Brexit" on March 29 should not be considered as a significant negative impact on British business.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid accused the "no-deal Brexit" of hampering the UK government's ability to repatriate illegal migrants back to EU countries.
Britain's environment secretary Michael Gove criticized those who oppose Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal and want a "perfect deal" as "the dying old man still wants to wait for a date with a handsome young movie star" and is unwilling to face reality.
Ruud appealed: "We need to face the world before us, not the world we want, and deal with the problems at hand."
A cross-party group led by Labour MP Yvette Cooper and Conservative MP Nicky Morgan is proposing amendments to the fiscal bill to limit the government's ability to reserve funds for a no-deal Brexit and prevent a no-deal Brexit. (End)
