The former PM tells the Cheltenham Literature Festival he 'completely supports' Boris Johnson's efforts to get a deal.
Former prime minister David Cameron says there is a"good chance" Boris Johnson will secure a new Brexit deal with the European Union.
Mr Cameron, who was speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, said he"completely supports" the current prime minister's efforts to get a deal and obtain parliament's support for it. He said:"It is difficult but I think it is far better than a no-deal outcome, which I don't think is a good outcome and not something I would recommend."Boris Johnson says he is trying to get a new Brexit deal - but that the UK will leave the EU on 31 October whether he gets one or not
He suggested British politics would be"stuck" until Brexit is resolved, telling the festival:"I recognise my fair share of the responsibility for that fact we are stuck. "We had a referendum and I lost that referendum and we found it very difficult to charge a way forward. We've had three years where we have not been able to resolve it and if you can't resolve it with a deal, which is the right answer, there are only really three answers."You can have a deal; you can have a general election and try and change the arithmetic in the House of Commons; or you can have a second referendum and take it back to the people.
