Don't let Brexiteers dictate EU exit terms, says Soubrypublished at 11:18 Greenwich Mean Time 30 January 2018

BBC News
A former Conservative minister is urging the government to "stand up" to hard Brexiteers and negotiate a "sensible" EU exit.
As the EU published its guidelines for negotiations on a transition period after the UK leaves, some Eurosceptics suggested that it meant the UK would stay in the EU "in all but name".
But Anna Soubry, MP for Broxtowe, said: "When is the Government going to stand up against the hard Brexiteers who mainly inhabit these benches?
"There's only about 35 of them - see them off, and make sure that we get a sensible Brexit, because if we don't, we will sleepwalk into a disastrous Brexit for generations to come."

May, who has won 10 of his 29 England caps under the Australian, added that he has never known a coach like him.
"Eddie's not like anybody I've met before," the 27-year-old told BBC Sport. "He puts you in a position where he makes or breaks you.
"He's tested me mentally and physically. He's constantly on to me about the big things, the small things, constantly demanding more.
"He can be intimidating. Sometimes he can be hard at you. He'll stop a training drill if it's not good enough. He'll completely pull the plug on it."
