Speaking to the Institute for the Government, Gordon Brown says "the long-term issues are not resolved" with regard to Brexit.

The former prime minister said that a new round of negotiations was coming to reach a free trade agreement.

He added that the UK's future relationship with the single market and the customs union has still not been resolved, as has the final model that would be more similar to Norway or Canada.

He says:

"After two years of negotiations, no major problems are solved.

Theresa May's plan is simply a "temporary short-term solution in the absence of a long-term end-point," he says.

Brown said the British public would be shocked to realize that "we have years to go before the negotiations, we do not agree on the long term objections we are trying to achieve".
