THERESA MAY loyalist Sir Michael Fallon echoed the words of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn today by stating that her Brexit deal is the “worst of all worlds” and doomed to fail.

Former defence secretary Mr Fallon, who has been one of the Tory Prime Minister’s staunchest allies, confirmed he will not vote in favour of the agreement when it comes to Parliament.

The Sevenoaks MP told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the deal has “no guarantee of smooth trade in the future and no ability to reduce the tariffs that we need to conclude trade deals with the rest of the world.”
