Trade minister Douglas Alexander has claimed ‘devastating’ damage was inflicted on the economy by Brexit<\/p>\n

In a signal Labour<\/a> will prioritise ties with Brussels, he called past efforts of global trade deals \u201cpost-imperial delusion\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe\u2019re pursuing trade based on data, not post-imperial delusion.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s devastating, the damage done by the way Brexit<\/a> was implemented.\u201d<\/p>\n

No\u200a10 described the Tory<\/a> deal as \u201cbotched\u201d but not \u201cdevastating\u201d.<\/p>\n

Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel<\/a> blasted: \u201cLabour\u2019s Brexit mask has slipped. <\/p>\n

“And we can see their true intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n

“This anti-British sneering is a total slap in the face of the democratic will of this country. <\/p>\n

“As well as the 17.4 million people that voted to regain this country\u2019s sovereignty.<\/p>\n

“It is the same old Labour<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
