We've been slagging off the E.U. for decades, and now we've gone and voted to leave. And if anyone thinks they are going to offer us some great trade deal as we walk away, they are living in la la land.
What I'm suggesting is making an offer to the E.U. for things that were already agreed in the withdrawal agreement that will enable us to leave with a managed exit.
Brexit means Brexit.The public made their verdict.
I've been clear that Brexit means Brexit.
I don't know; we'll see what happens with Brexit. If they make it so that you can't travel any more without a visa, I'm going to have to leave the country, stay in the E.U., and probably change my citizenship.
But I do think that Brexit, an exit of Britain from the European Union, would trigger real pressure on the United Kingdom.
I am a passionate, pragmatic, and positive believer in Brexit, and with my three-step plan, we can decisively leave the E.U.
For all the brave talk of Brexiteers that the E.U. needs us more than we need them, the reality is that they hold all the cards, and they are going to punish us for leaving.
After 43 years of membership, exiting the E.U. was never going to be easy.
We must not lose time, neither for dealing in a suitable way with the question of the United Kingdom's exit, nor for providing a new impetus for the E.U.
We need to underline the need for Britain to depart from the European Union in an orderly fashion.
I am attached to a strict approach to Brexit: I respect the British vote, but the worst thing would be a sort of weak E.U. vis-a-vis the British.
There can be no doubt that, with the United Kingdom, we will lose a very market-oriented voice.
As we exit the E.U., there must be a new approach to immigration that has the consent of the British people and is managed in their interests.
The will of the British people must now be put into effect as quickly as possible. Under Article 50 of the EU Treaty the UK must leave the European Union within two years at the latest.
