Theresa May has warned the European Union that she is prepared to walk away from the negotiating table as she set out her blueprint for Brexit.
In comments that were hailed by Eurosceptics, the Prime Minister told EU leaders that any attempt to punish Britain would be an act of calamitous self-harm for the countries of Europe that her Government will not accept.
She said she would rather do no deal than one which is a bad deal for Britain and said that any attempt by the EU to harm the UK would force her to change the countrys economic model by lowering tax and cutting regulation to compete with Brussels.
