RITAIN will consider paying for continued access to the European single market after it leaves the EU, a senior minister has confirmed, boosting investors’ hopes of a “soft Brexit”. The minister for exiting the EU, David Davis, was asked in parliament whether the government would consider making “any contribution in any shape or form for access to the single market” after it withdraws from

the bloc. Davis replied: “There is a distinction between picking off an individual policy and setting out a major criteria, and the major criteria here is that we get the best possible access for goods and services to the European market. “If that is included in what you are talking about then of course we would consider it.” Davis and other top Brexit supporters campaigned to stop payments to the EU during the campaign

FOLLOWING what has been described as one of the worst storm to hit the Costa del Sol in over thirty years, which resulted in the death of two people and widespread flooding and chaos the deputy of the Government in Malaga, Miguel Briones has announced a “clear and firm” commitment by the Government to get the affected towns up and running as soon as possible.

Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokeswoman denied a change in strategy, saying London had long argued that “it will be for the UK government to make decisions on how taxpayers’ money will be spent”.

The government has said it intends to give formal notification of its intention to leave the EU by the end of March, setting off a two-year countdown to the divorce. Davis indicated the government would not act before the end of March, saying: “We will use all 121 days to get the best possible policy for us and then we will put that single policy to the European Union.”
