Geoffrey Cox: Brexit backstop a 'calculated risk' for UK - BBC News
The attorney general says he backs the plan as he does not believe the UK will be permanently "entrapped".
Attorney General Geoffrey Cox tells MPs there are aspects of the Brexit agreement in relation to the customs backstop that are "unsatisfactory and unattractive".

But he says he backs it because he does not believe the UK will ever be "entrapped" permanently. Parliament, he adds, must weigh up the "calculated risk" involved against other alternatives.
