Theresa May's Brexit speech was historic and a game-changer for Britain and Brussels
02/02/2022
THE Brexit vision Theresa May unveiled is so close to ours we couldn’t have written it any better. It was a magnificent, historic speech — a game-changer for Britain and for Brussels.
It has been fashionable to sneer that the Government is in chaos with no exit plan. That the EU would dictate terms to us anyway.
Some EU chiefs had convinced themselves that if they played hardball Britain would lose its bottle and decide to stay in.
In 45 minutes Mrs May buried all three delusions and put us at the wheel of our own destiny.
We are leaving. That’s that. No half-measures. If we cannot strike a decent deal we will walk away. Better no deal than a bad one, as the PM said.
Brexit has several possible variations. The Prime Minister took the only logical course to satisfy the Leave majority, to take back control of our borders and laws and to set up a more prosperous future.
Her speech was hugely ambitious, optimistic and crafted to appeal to every level-headed person in Britain. Indeed it won praise both from Remainers and Ukip. Come what may, Britain WILL leave the single market.
