Rishi Sunak toasts to three years outside EU and hails Brexit benefits
RISHI Sunak tonight toasted three years outside the EU by hailing the benefits of Brexit.
He said his first 100 days as PM had seized on the opportunities of leaving by slashing business red tape, opening freeport trade hubs and getting rid of bonkers Brussels rules.
And the Tory leader - who will pass the milestone on Thursday - said “this is just the beginning”.
He said: “In the three years since leaving the EU, we’ve made huge strides in harnessing the freedoms unlocked by Brexit.
“We’ve been able to tackle generational challenges.
“Whether leading Europe’s fastest vaccine rollout, striking trade deals with over 70 countries or taking back control of our borders, we’ve forged a path as an independent nation with confidence.

“And in my first 100 days as Prime Minister, that momentum hasn’t slowed.
“We’re cutting red tape for businesses, levelling up through our freeports.
“And we’re designing our own, fairer farming system to protect the British countryside.”
