Brexit must be used to its 'maximum effect' says expert
Former Brexit Party MEP Michael Heaver insisted due to the economic issues from coronavirus it was crucial the UK made the most of Brexit. While speaking on Westmonster, Mr Heaver argued Boris Johnson's Government should still remain firm and continue to push for global trade deals with other nations. He also claimed the UK should consider leaving the negotiating table with the EU.
Mr Heaver said: "You have got to now use the Brexit opportunity to its maximum effect, especially given the current situation.
"We have seen talks of trade deals around the world.
"That is absolutely fantastic that we have a British Government that can discuss and soon finalise and put into effect trade deals that will benefit the British economy.
"It is just a massive advantage."
