At Berlin airport after a 2 days in Spain and Germany where I gave a speech on security cooperation, and met with counterparts, thinktanks & MPs. Three thoughts…
First, security cooperation is not a zero-sum game - it’s a win-win. Keeping our citizens safe should not be a bargaining chip. UK is unconditionally committed to European security.
Same for citizens’ rights. We have made it clear that, deal or no deal, EU citizens in UK can stay. And we expect our neighbours to communicate the same to UK citizens in their countries.
Finally, one thing I had to repeatedly make clear: THERE WILL BE NO SECOND REFERENDUM. Deeply unhelpful of some UK figures to travel around raising this prospect while so many working hard to land a deal.
