“Given the way in which the EU has behaved and the corner they’ve put Theresa May into, there’s no deal which I can see at present which will command a majority in the House of Commons,” Sammmy Wilson told the Belfast News Letter. “So it is probably inevitable that we will end up with a no deal scenario.”
