Comments by UK Brexit secretary Dominic Raab
- We want a good deal with the EU
- Ready and prepared to deal with risks of a no deal Brexit outcome
- No deal outcome would not be a walk in the park
- But it would not be the end of the world either
- Confident that we will get a deal in the end
- Should not overreact to any blip in the road by the EU
- Labour is speaking nonsense about a second referendum
Raab's comments isn't anything new but his constant stroking of optimism that a deal will be struck is seeing the pound catch a bid on the day. GBP/USD has now risen back above 1.3100 while EUR/GBP falls to a low of 0.8958.
