The Prime Minister said she would reveal more plans for Britain’s exit from the European Union over the coming weeks but offered little in clarity, according to Keir Starmer. The Labour Party MP, speaking on Sky News, bemoaned her lack of detail claiming that the country needed to know more about the key issues of single market access or immigration policy. The 54-year-old said: “I don’t think that we have learnt much at all from the Prime Minister. “It was very telling, I think, that she had one question put to her three times and still didn’t answer it which is, ‘Are you prioritising immigration over access to the single market?’

“That was the question she didn’t want to answer and I think now, 10 to 11 weeks from the triggering of Article 50 and the most important negotiations for a generation, we need more clarity than that and we haven’t got it.” But Britain’s Brexiteers will be left more encouraged by Mrs May’s words, after dropping perhaps the biggest hint yet that Britain is destined to leave the European Union’s single market. Having reaffirmed that her Government’s Brexit thinking “isn’t muddled”, the Prime Minister said she would not try to “keep bits of membership”. She told Sky News: “We are leaving, we are coming out, we are not going to be a member of the EU any longer.

“We will have control of our borders, control of our laws, but we still want the best possible deal for UK companies to trade with and operate within the European Union and also European companies to trade with and operate within the UK. “We must not think about this as somehow we are coming out of membership but we want to keep bits of membership. “What we must say is what the right relationship for a United Kingdom that is no longer a member of the European Union. The best possible deal for the UK will also be a good deal for the EU. “I am ambitious for what we can get for the UK in terms of our relationship because I also think that’s going to be good for the EU.”

Senior Conservative MP Steve Baker welcomed Mrs May’s comments, suggesting it was enough “clarification”. He said: “This is welcome clarification of a sensible position by the PM. “We won’t be clinging onto bits of EU membership.”
