Prime Minister Theresa May rules out ‘standing on the border’
PRIME Minister Theresa May has effectively ruled out going anywhere near the Irish border between now and the UK's exit from Europe being triggered in exactly a year's time. She spent two hours in Northern Ireland yesterday as part of a whistle-stop tour to all four parts of the United Kingdom, when her focus was on meeting farmers to hear their views on what Brexit means to them. There are an estimated 48,000 people working on 25,000 farms in the north, yet she chose to go to the Jackson family's 132-acre Fairview dairy farm in Bangor - just about as far from the border as it's possible to get. She said Northern Ireland and the farming industry "are integral parts of the UK’s history, culture and our future – which is why I’m here today to speak to farmers, hear their views and assure them that my mission is to deliver a Brexit deal that strengthens the bonds between us and ensures our industries and nations prosper as we forge a new role for ourselves in the world." … [Read more...] about Prime Minister Theresa May rules out ‘standing on the border’

And Labour leader Mr Corbyn said in a statement to the Gazette: “I’m very concerned about the increased public anxiety. I know it’s a major issue for constituents, and the council and police are working very hard to … [Read more...] about Jeremy Corbyn attacks Theresa May and Amber Rudd over police cuts following violent Archway muggings
