Sir John Major Launches Extraordinary Attack on Theresa May's Government over Brexit

THE TELEGRAPH: Sir John Major has launched an extraordinary attack on Theresa May's Government over Brexit and warned that leaving the EU could mean cutting the NHS and welfare state.

In his first intervention since the referendum, the former Conservative Prime Minister said that there will be a "price to be paid" if Britain decides to leave the European Union without securing a trade deal.
