Nick
Timothy-THERESA MAY'S FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF HAS CLAIMED SHE REGARDS
BREXIT
AS
'DAMAGE LIMITATION'.
Nick Timothy, who lost his job over
the Tories' disastrous election campaign of 2017, said she and mainly her
ministers' struggle to see any economic upside to
BREXIT.
He told the BBC:
They see it as a damage limitation
exercise.
If you see it in nthat way
inevitably you're not going to be prepared to take the steps that would enable
you to fully realise the economic opportunities of
LEAVING.
In a separate interview with Channel
4 News, Mr Timothy said the UK had made4 mistakes in Brexit negotiations,
including
by
allowing the EU to determine the
sequence of talks.
He said the Government should have
spent money earlier on preparing for a
NO DEAL BREXIT
and should have
been more 'robust' in pushing areas of UK advantage. 'Some of it is to do with
negotiating style,' he said.
