May Says Her Brexit Deal ‘Will Honor the Result’ of Referendum
  • "It will protect the integrity of our United Kingdom and ensure that there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland – so people can live their lives as they do now"
  • When the U.K. leaves the EU on March 29, 2019, “it must mark the point when we put aside the labels of ‘Leave’ and ‘Remain’ for good and we come together again as one people. To do that we need to get on with Brexit now by getting behind this deal”
