May commits Tories to hard Brexit stance in manifesto
Halifax, UK
PRIME Minister Theresa May took a hardline approach to Brexit, promising British voters she would deliver a clean break from the European Union and warning again that no deal with the bloc was better than a bad one.
In publishing her Conservative Party's manifesto on Thursday, Ms May locked a future Tory government into her plans for a hard Brexit: remove Britain from the single market and customs union; "reduce and control" EU migration. She also rejected the continent's proposed negotiating schedule and pledged to stop "making vast annual contributions" to Brussels.
