Former Chancellor Philip Hammond has accused the PM of trying to wreck the chance of a new Brexit deal, by making demands the EU could never accept.<\/p>\n
In a Times article, Mr Hammond said a no-deal Brexit would be “a betrayal” of the 2016 referendum result.<\/p>\n
He said Parliament would “make its voice heard”, adding that a no deal “must not happen”.<\/p>\n
A No 10 source said the UK would leave on 31 October despite Mr Hammond’s “best efforts to the contrary”.<\/p>\n
The source added that Mr Hammond, as chancellor, “did everything he could” to block preparations for leaving and had “undermined negotiations”.<\/p>\n
The former chancellor rejected this suggestion in a tweet, saying he wanted to deliver Brexit “and voted to do so three times”.<\/p>\n
