Woo Irish PM to get better Brexit deal, says UK PM candidate Mark Harper
LONDON - Rebuilding diplomatic ties with Ireland is the key to getting a better Brexit deal from the European Union, says Mark Harper, the self-styled “serious underdog” in the contest to be Britain’s new prime minister.
Now the party is choosing a new leader to take on the job of plotting a course to Brexit through a divided parliament with no consensus on what it wants - except that it does not want May’s deal - and an EU that is adamant it will not renegotiate. Harper, a square-jawed 49-year-old whose friendly, measured tone belies his background as an enforcer of party discipline under ex-prime minister David Cameron, is the bookmakers’ least-fancied candidate to get the job.
