Welcome the PM's comments that: "Under my leadership, the United Kingdom will not pursue any relationship with Europe that relies on alignment with EU laws. I voted for Brexit, I believe in Brexit and I know that Brexit can deliver, and is already delivering, enormous benefits"

It’s very simple - it’s this country and government who should decide who comes here - not criminal gangs. Our new laws show we will do what is necessary to achieve that.
