Brexit: PM expected to say UK prepared to leave single market

Theresa May is expected to announce the UK is prepared to leave the single market, the customs union and European Court of Justice.

The PM’s willingness to give up membership of the single market will be made clear in a major speech at Lancaster House in London on Tuesday, according to the Sun on Sunday.

Her red lines will be an end to free movement from the EU and clearance to hold bilateral trade talks with other countries, which it is thought will not be achievable while still in the single market.

A Downing Street Source told Sky News: "The issue of the single market and the customs union will be answered on Tuesday when the Prime Minister sets out her negotiations."
