David Davis has insisted Britain's "best days are still ahead of us" as he set out the Government's negotiating strategy for Brexit.

Launching the 77-page White Paper in the House of Commons, the Brexit Secretary said the paper outlined Theresa May's vision of "an independent and truly global United Kingdom".

Confirming the UK's strategy would be guided by the 12 principles set out by Mrs May in her Lancaster House speech, Mr Davis called on EU leaders to behave like "good neighbours".

He said the Government was aiming for "a new, positive and constructive partnership between Britain and the European Union that works in our mutual interest".

The White Paper comes after MPs voted overwhelmingly to allow Mrs May to press ahead with starting withdrawal negotiations under Article 50 of the EU treaties.
