PM Theresa May: UK Must Leave the EU Single Market

posted by takyon on Tuesday January 17 2017, @12:42PM   Printer-friendly

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.

    Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!
