Sir Richard accused Olly Robbins, the Prime Minister’s Europe advisor since September 2017, of “covertly working” to keep bits of UK defence policy “under EU control”.

 

The astonishing allegations were made by Sir Richard via a letter to The Times. In the letter, Sir Richard accused Mr Robbins of “covertly working to lock UK defence and security under EU control after Brexit”.

“The withdrawal agreement and proposed defence treaty would keep the UK under EU power permanently after the transition period.
