Theresa May announced her strategy for Brexit in London today.

In her long awaited speech, the Prime Minister set out the government’s plan for leaving the EU in the greatest detail yet.

Mrs May confirmed the Brexit deal “will be put to a vote in both houses of Parliament”, allowing MPs and peers to vote on the details of the UK’s exit from the EU.

She also assured the British public that the UK would leave the European single market, as a 2019 deadline was set for Brexit negotiations to be completed.
