European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 5) Bill

It is very good that my right hon. Friend and I agree on something. If we are not careful, I fear that what will actually happen is that the European Union will make appalling demands for financial contributions and a long extension, and, when it came down to it, this House would not have the courage to resist, having already indicated that it lacks the courage to leave without a deal, which I believe was a mistake. I did not want to leave with no deal�I would like there to be an orderly withdrawal with an agreement�but I believe that taking no deal off the table would fundamentally undermine our position.
