It will not be possible to do what is right for Britain, to get the be — Theresa May

"It is not clear why other EU member states would give Britain a better deal than they themselves enjoy."

"I believe it is clearly in our national interest to remain a member of the European Union."

"We need a bold, new, positive vision for the future of our country – a vision of a country that works not for a privileged few but for every one of us."

"The country needs strong leadership and a clear sense of direction, to give confidence to investors, to keep the economy moving, and to keep people in work."

"There should be no general election until 2020. There should be a normal Autumn Statement, held in the normal way at the normal time, and no emergency Budget."

"The reality is that we do not know on what terms we would have access to the single market. We do know that in a negotiation we would need to make concessions in order to access it, and those concessions could well be about accepting EU regulations, over which we would have no say, making financial contributions, just as we do now, accepting free movement rules, just as we do now, or quite possibly all three combined."
