Andrew Neil has blasted Owen Smith for claiming UK businesses and industry was “struggling and suffering” as a result of Brexit.The heated exchange came after the Labour MP, who previously challenged for the leadership of his party but lost to Jeremy Corbyn, said there would be “a huge number of stumbling blocks” for the British economy to deal with.He also hit out at Theresa May for saying the UK would aim for a “sector by sector” deal.Mr Smith said: “Truthfully, what we’ve seen in the last few days is the Government trying to say once more that this is going to be relatively easy just as she [Mrs May] said it was going to be a sector by sector deal and that today has been rebuffed once more by the Europeans.
