Ahead of her meeting with the leaders of the EU nations, British Prime Minister Theresa May has published a letter to the nation. Below are some key takeaways.
- Today, I am in Brussels with the firm intention of agreeing a Brexit deal with the leaders of the other 27 EU nations.
- We will take back control of our money, by putting an end to vast annual payments to the EU.
- A free trade area will allow goods to flow easily across our borders, protecting the many skilled jobs right across the country that rely on integrated supply-chains.
- Outside the EU, we will be able to sign new trade deals with other countries and open up new markets in the fastest-growing economies around the world.
- On 29 March next year, the United Kingdom will leave the European Union.
- We will then begin a new chapter in our national life. I want that to be a moment of renewal and reconciliation for our whole country.
- We need to get on with Brexit now by getting behind this deal.
- Parliament will have the chance to do that in a few weeks’ time when it has a meaningful vote on the deal I hope to strike today.
- I will be campaigning with my heart and soul to win that vote and to deliver this Brexit deal, for the good of our United Kingdom and all of our people.
