A CABINET minister took on Brexit doomsters last night and predicted Britain's future outside the EU will be a "roaring success".
Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch vowed to seize new opportunities as she embarked on a trade mission in pursuit of a £ 1 trillion prize.
She said a deal with six Gulf states could "bring in billions" of pounds of investment into the UK. This follows winning a trade deal with economic powerhouses on the Pacific Rim.
We'll cut red tape to boost the economy
KEMI'S BOLD VISION FOR FUTURE
Ms Badenoch, who flies to the region this morning, said: "None of these deals would have been possible without Brexit, and this Government is ensuring we make it a roaring success!"
She laid out her vision exclusively to the Sunday Express after gloom-laden pundits blamed Britain's woes on leaving the EU.
Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage had caused shock last week when he said that "Brexit has failed". He stated that while he did not think the country would be better off in the EU, politicians had "mismanaged this totally".
A defiant Ms Badenoch- widely seen as a potential future Conservative leader - believes this country has the chance to build a high-skills, high-wage economy that will flourish beyond Brussels' control.
She wants to tear down barriers to a market for goods and services expected to be worth nearly £1trillion by 2035.
Ahead of flying to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, she said: "The first aim of Brexit was to leave the European Union - we did that. The second aim was to seize the opportunities of leaving the EU, which we're doing."
