UK could pay EU for single market access after Brexit

The largest coalition of food producers in the UK's history has come together for the first time to call for tariff-free access to the Single Market and continued access to a competent and reliable workforce in order for British food and farming to flourish post-Brexit.

The study, released on Thursday, shows that 134 racist incidents were reported in the month after the Brexit referendum on June 23, when almost 52 percent of British voters opted to leave the European Union, in hopes of taking back control over their borders and having more economic freedom.

There are more than 5,000 medicines approved through the current regulatory process and manufacturers will need an appropriate product license to still make them available in Britain once ties with the European Union are broken.

British Prime Minister Theresa May has said she will trigger the two-year negotiation process for leaving the bloc before the end of March, but it is not clear what sort of deal the two sides will strike over trade and the movement of people.

Mr Davis also said many in the European Union had not accepted that Brexit would happen, after the SNP's Patrick Grady (Glasgow North) used the phrase "if the United Kingdom finally leaves".

Four ambassadors say the Foreign Secretary told them he supported unrestricted migration across the bloc, according to Sky News.

But Mr Davis said: "What I've seen. strikes me completely at odds with what I know about my right honourable friend's approach to this matter".

"Yet there is a running commentary".

"This is serious, because it is damaging the prospects of the negotiations getting off to a good start". "But he said it wasn't government policy".

"The dominating factor here is what's the best outcome for Britain in the long run".

Brexit secretary David Davis has revealed that the United Kingdom is prepared to consider paying to the European Union to secure terms on Single Market access.

"The major criterion here is we get the best possible access for goods and services and if that is included in what he's talking about then we'll consider it".

The group recognises that "Brexit can be beneficial... for the wider economy" but that access to labour and the Single Market is "essential" for their industry as 75% of exports go to the EU.
