Theresa May: UK must leave European single market

no, its immigration, and the lack of jobs for "locals"

much has been made of "bureaucracy" but in fact, most of that is hidden from the UK.

The basic fact is that large parts of the UK have been left to rot, suffering terribly from the lack of decent jobs to replace the decline of manufacturing. This has been blamed on immigration, correctly or not. That is why large swathes of the country voted to leave.

Now we won't have that excuse any more.

But brexit isn't going to make life any better for those areas. Most likely it will be worse as the country as a whole will be probably poorer and less able to support deprived areas. But I expect they will still put the blame for this on someone else rather than the total failure of successive UK governments to spread wealth around the country.
