William Hague has predicted chaos over Brexit could force a general election within weeks amid a stalemate in Parliament.
The former Tory leader made the claim in a briefing for businessmen in the City of London in the aftermath of the crushing defeat for Theresa May‘s Brexit plans.
Lord Hague correctly predicted the last snap election in 2017 and warned the chances of another are currently being ‘underplayed’.
Calling a snap election is one idea being considered by some Cabinet ministers in the aftermath of the record-breaking 432 to 202 defeat on Tuesday night.
In a briefing with Citigroup clients yesterday, Lord Hague said ‘the media are underplaying the chances of a general election in the coming weeks’, one person at the meeting told the Financial Times.
A minister told the paper: ‘William is right: chaos will eventually lead to a general election.’
