Chuka Umunna: Government promises 'undeliverable' Brexit deal
The Labour politician slammed Prime Minister Theresa May and her Cabinet for their inability to deliver a beneficial Brexit to the UK.
Mr Umunna said: "They are being asked to deliver what is proving, now we know the facts, to be undeliverable!
"We were promised that we would get the exact same benefits outside of the European Union once we’ve left because the Germans want to sell us their cars, the Italians want to sell us Prosecco.

They are being asked to deliver what is proving, now we know the facts, to be undeliverable!
"The EU has been absolutely clear we will not get the exact same benefits outside the club as we do in it. So there’s the biggest problem for the Government."
The anti-Brexit MP previously attacked the "undemocratic" Government for withholding a set of undisclosed reports listing the possible effects Brexit could have on British industries.
He accused Mrs May and her ministers of trying to keep Parliament from receiving all necessary information to vote on the Brexit deal once it is agreed with Brussels.
Mr Umunna said: "This is undemocratic, what they are doing. Trying to withhold information, never mind from the public but from the Parliament which has a bote on behalf of the public."

"It's undemocratic to be seeking this kind of cover-up."
Parliament later passed a motion promoted by the Labour party to force the British Government to publish the Brexit impact reports.
It comes as Brexit secretary David Davis prepares to embark on the sixth round of negotiations with his EU counterpart, Michel Barnier.
But senior officials in Whitehall admitted the two-days Brexit talks planned for next week were "not a proper round" of talks but a "stock-taking exercise."
