UK Prime Minister Theresa May has given a major speech calling for a clean break from the EU:
Theresa May has said the UK "cannot possibly" remain within the European single market, as staying in it would mean "not leaving the EU at all". But the prime minister promised to push for the "greatest possible" access to the single market following Brexit. In a long-awaited speech, she also announced Parliament would get a vote on the final deal agreed between the UK and the European Union. And Mrs May promised an end to "vast contributions" to the European Union.

The irony bein g that while Westminster rarely spends outside of the south east, the EU did. The most deprived areas of the uk had the most eu funding. The poorest people in the uk had the most eu protection. Those deprived areas voted out.
