The mayors of London, Manchester and Liverpool today warned that a no-deal Brexit would deal a “hammer blow” to the economy.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Labour metro mayors Sadiq Khan, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram said “crashing out is not an option” because it would mean losing growth and jobs.
They wrote: “It is unacceptable to play poker like this with people’s livelihoods and public services.
“Political posturing risks crashing us out of the EU without a deal. Our economy simply isn’t prepared.
"It is time to step back from the brink, and take no-deal off the table for good.”
