Philip Hammond, the British finance minister, said:
- Businesses want to know that there will be a smooth path of Brexit.
- Any kind of uncertainty will have a bad impact on business confidence.
- The sooner we clarify the process of Brexit, the quicker the economy will start to grow again.
- Of course, there are short-term challenges to the economy.
- Underlying economy is very strong.
- We should be prepared to support the economy when necessary during the Brexit.
- I support the Prime Minister in the complex negotiations with the European Union.
- Boris Johnson's position is well known about Brexit.
- We all owe loyalty to the prime minister in the cabinet.
- Britain split over the issue of Brexit.
- All that is raised about EU negotiations in Brussels is just a noise.
- No one wants to disrupt the economy through Brexit.
- The more we can show our unity, the stronger our negotiating position will be.
- The challenge now is to move the Brexit talks a step forward decisively.
