The Prime Minister's claim that "no deal is better than a bad deal" has been criticised as unsubstantiated by a parliamentary committee.

MPs of the cross-party Brexit Committee have warned that Theresa May's claim that "no deal is better than a bad deal" was "unsubstantiated" until an assessment of the economic consequences was published.


However, the pro-Brexit MPs who are part of the committee have refused to back the report, saying it is too pessimistic.
