THERESA MAY’S latest Brexit speech showed the “chasm” between her rhetoric and reality, TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said today.
In a speech at Mansion House in London, the Prime Minister claimed she could deliver “an optimistic and confident future” which would leave Britain “a stronger and more cohesive nation,” while conceding that neither her government nor the European Union would get “exactly what we want” from the negotiations.
Ms May set out the “foundations” that she wants to underpin the new relationship, including binding commitments to fair competition and a new arbitration mechanism for disputes, while also giving greater detail on the Irish border question.
