AS THE EU continues to be intransigent over Brexit negotiations, the British government should be fully prepared to walk away with no deal rather than agree to a bad deal.

The government would certainly have the support of the British people.

According to a new Sky data poll a large majority of the public believes that no deal is better than a bad deal.

A massive 74% agree the country should walk away rather than accept a bad, punishment deal.

Just 26% think any deal is better than no deal. Whilst it is be hoped that the UK and EU negotiating teams will reach a deal that benefits both sides, it is vital that we should be prepared to walk away without a deal if necessary.

If, because of EU bullying, the UK and EU agree to a bad deal, then Britain will be saddled with the terms of the deal for decades.
