UK will continue preparations for a “no-deal” Brexit, says May

Sky News writes that PM May during her speech yesterday used a surprise statement in Downing Street to issue an ultimatum to the bloc to accept her Chequers plan or come up with counterproposals.

She declared the UK will continue preparations for a “no-deal” Brexit, amid what she recognised as an “impasse” over “two big problems” in negotiations.

In addition, Mrs May dismissed talk of a second EU referendum, which some EU leaders had spoken in hope of during the Salzburg summit.

She added: “The referendum was the largest democratic exercise this country has ever undergone. To deny its legitimacy or frustrate its result threatens public trust in our democracy. No one wants a good deal more than me. But the EU should be clear: I will not overturn the result of the referendum. Nor will I break up my country.”
