Leaving EU we will have control of our budgets - PM Theresa May

UK’s PM Theresa May is expected to make a statement to MPs later at 1130GMT and finally trigger Brexit Article 50. According to previous consensus, the statement should lean to the conciliatory tone, calling all Britons to unite ahead of this historical moment.

“When we leave the European Union we will have control of our budgets and we will decide how we spend our money”

“Invoking Article 50, we are putting into practice the democratic vote of the UK people”, says May, while suggesting that the Scottish government should “do the same with the 2015 referendum on the independence of Scotland”
