Key Quotes:

"Brexit Minister Davis appeared to soft-pedal the agreements reached with EU negotiators, suggesting they represented as “statement of intent” rather than a legally enforceable deal."

"He later remarked that the agreement was enforceable under the withdrawal agreement. Verbal flip-flops hardly encourage market expectations that this government has fully mastered the challenge of Brexit."
