‘EU cannot cherry pick Brexit deal’ Davis hits out with warning of 'thunder and lightning'

DAVID Davis has turned the European Union's negotiating mantra against the bloc as he warned Brussels that it cannot cherry pick the terms of a free trade deal.

The Brexit Secretary declared Britain will push for "the full sweep of economic cooperation" and that financial services must not be excluded from any agreement.

EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier has repeatedly insisted the UK cannot choose to keep the best elements of membership when it quits the bloc.

No trade agreement exists that includes financial services and the City of London will inevitably face curbs on access, he has warned.

But Mr Davis said a deal that took some areas of the current economic relationship but not others would be "cherry picking".

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he said: “Brexit will allow us to take control of our borders, our money and our laws. We will use the opportunity of an independent trade policy to strike deals with other countries from around the world.
