Arch Brexiter Apologises To Ireland And EU For Tories' Behaviour

The arch Brexiter told the Tory conference that he and others in the party had not shown respect to the “legitimate interests” of Ireland or the EU during the campaign to leave.

Baker, a Northern Ireland minister, said it was time to rebuild the UK’s relations with Ireland and make sure the two countries went forward as “closest partners and friends”.

“I was one who perhaps acted with the most ferocious determination to get the UK out of the EU. I think we have to bring some humility to this situation,” said the former chair of the European Research Group (ERG) of Brexit hardliners.
