hree Tory ex-ministers have publicly attacked Theresa May’s Brexit red line over the European Court of Justice [ECJ] in a new rebellion.
Ed Vaizey, the former culture minister, calls for the Prime Minister to reverse plans to leave a European nuclear body which is underpinned by the ECJ.
Dominic Grieve, once the Government’s most senior lawyer, dismisses the idea the UK can totally cut ties with the court and calls for a more “open” approach.
And Nicky Morgan, the former education secretary, says Mrs May’s “absolutist” stance could be undermining the chance of a good economic outcome to negotiations.
The criticisms are matched behind the scenes with cabinet ministers warning about the consequences of her stance, according to a senior figure familiar with Government thinking.
