HARD BREXIT LOOMS

Politico, a political website dealing with EU issues has picked up on a reply given by Mrs May to Edward Leigh in the House of Commons (HERE) where he asks, in a rather rambling question, if she thinks we should negotiate a free trade deal with the EU. She says she agrees.

This means we will be out of the single market but is in marked contrast to what she told bankers in a speech in May before the referendum where she says being outside the single market would damage our economy (HERE).

Taken together with he conference speech about not relinquishing control of immigration or accepting judgements from the ECJ, I think most people will think we are heading for a hard Brexit.
