Ex-Minister and Stand Up 4 Brexit campaigner Steve Baker has released this video urging Mrs May to ‘chuck Chequers’ as a Canada-style deal and a no-deal blueprint are being stress-tested
THE ALTERNATIVE plan to the Chequers blueprint is being stress-tested ahead of its unveiling on the eve of conference.
Brexit-backing Tory MPs are working on the benefits of a Canada-style deal and a no-deal scenario with a team of policy experts.
It is set to be published just ahead of the Tories annual rally taking place in Birmingham later this month. It has been claimed around 100 MPs could back the alternative proposal.
It comes as Eurosceptic MPs including former party leader Iain Duncan Smith and Cabinet Minister Priti Patel back the Stand Up 4 Brexit campaign.
Ex-Minister Steve Baker last night said: “The Prime Minister should ‘chuck Chequers’ and stand up for Brexit based on advanced free trade agreement with the EU, an agreement of the kind the EU has offered in principle.”
He has released a new video last night urging Mrs May to change her Brexit stance.
Theresa May unveiled the Chequers blueprint in July which led to the resignations of her Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
Mr Johnson said Britain was heading “for the status of a colony” under the plan.
Davis said he didn’t “believe” in the agreement reached by the Cabinet.
Mr Baker last night said: “I expect our detailed proposals to be available in time for Conservative conference.”
