we now don’t need to have a prolonged period of transition. And so tomorrow I

Meanwhile, Theresa May reiterated her
commitment to Brexit when she categorically said, “Brexit means Brexit, and
we’re going to make a success of it. There will be no attempts to remain inside
the EU. No attempts to rejoin it by the back door. No second referendum. The
country voted to leave the European Union, and as prime minister, I will make
sure we leave the European Union.”
