LONDON, Dec. 31-- Making a success of Brexit in 2018 is crucial, but it will not be the limit of Britain's ambitions, Prime Minister Theresa May said Sunday in her New Year message. May said in the new year negotiations will move on to vital issues of trade and security as Britain continues negotiations over its departure from the European Union, adding: "I am determined that we will keep up our progress in 2018". In a message directed at the population, May said: "Whichever way you voted in the referendum, most people just want the government to get on and deliver a good Brexit, and that's exactly what we are doing." May added: "I believe 2018 can be a year of renewed confidence and pride in our country. A year in which we continue to make good progress towards a successful Brexit deal, an economy that's fit for the future, and a stronger and fairer society for everyone." Aside from Brexit, May said she wants Britain to carry on making a difference on the issues that matter to people's daily lives. "That means building an economy fit for the future and taking a balanced approach to government spending, so we get our debt falling but can also invest in the things that matter -- our schools, our police and our precious NHS. "Our goal is simple: more good jobs in every part of the country, and more opportunities for young people to get on in life. The first step to a better future is getting a place at a good school." |
