These negotiations were always going to be tough.
And they were always going to be toughest in the final straight.
That’s why we’ve got to keep cool heads – and hold our nerve.
Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the SNP are trying to frustrate Brexit. Instead of putting the country first, they’re playing politics.
In fact, some of them are now demanding a second referendum.
Let me be clear. The British people voted to leave, and this Government will deliver on that vote. A second referendum would send us right back to square one. Something we will never allow.
I am confident that we’ll get a good Brexit deal.
But now the EU needs to start working with us.
Yours sincerely,
Theresa May,
Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party
