Hilary Benn, the chairman of the Committee on Exiting the European Union, said:
“This is probably going to be the first negotiation in human history in which a government has gone into the negotiation knowing that it will come out with a worse deal than the one that we currently enjoy and the reasons for that is the red lines that it has set for itself.
