Sunday shows round-up: Vince Cable says Brexit may never happen

Sir Vince Cable – ‘Brexit may never happen’

Sir Vince Cable, who remains the only candidate in the running for the leadership of the Liberal Democrats, has once again hit the headlines due to his firm standpoint against the UK leaving the European Union. On this occasion, Sir Vince has opined to Andrew Marr that Brexit may not actually happen and that the Liberal Democrat policy of a second referendum could still be on the cards:

Marr: On Brexit, do you want Britain to fail economically?

Cable: I do not want it to fail economically. I don’t think the public voted to have cuts in their standard of living…

Marr: The reason I ask that if I may interject is that you have said you have to hang on while the economy deteriorates before the public mood changes, and that’s your moment. Which makes it sound as if you’re an economic Eeyore, as it were – observing disaster happening and just waiting for your moment.
