PM May - Reject my deal and we may never leave the EU
Prime Minister Theresa May gave a speech on Brexit in Grimsby, calling MPs to back her deal otherwise "no one knows what will happen".
"Next week, Members of Parliament in Westminster face a crucial choice. Whether to back the Brexit deal – or to reject it" Mrs May said adding:
"Back it and the UK will leave the European Union.
Reject it and no one knows what will happen.
We may not leave the EU for many months.
We may leave without the protections that the deal provides.
We may never leave at all.
The only certainty would be ongoing uncertainty.
Months more spent arguing about Brexit, when we could be focusing on improving our NHS, our schools and our communities.
It will be for the 630-odd MPs at Westminster who will be voting next week to take this decision.
But they will take it on your behalf – and on behalf of tens of millions of people across the UK.
Parliament gave the decision to leave or remain in the European Union to you.
Thirty-three and a half million people took part in the referendum – the biggest turnout for a generation.
The result was close, but it was clear.
If it had gone the other way, we would be staying in.
But the decision was to leave – and that is what we must do".
