UK Brexit

HYMN

Lord the light of Your love is shining

In the midst of the darkness, shining

Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us

Set us free by the truth You now bring us

Shine on UK, Shine on UK

Chrous  - Shine, Jesus, shine

Fill this land with the Father's glory

Blaze, Spirit, blaze, Set our hearts on fire

Flow, river, flow

Flood the nations with grace and mercy

Send forth Your Word, Lord And let there be light

Lord, we come into Your awesome presence

From the shadows into Your radiance

By the blood we may enter Your brightness

Search us, try us, consume all our darkness

Shine on UK, Shine on UK

Repeat chorus

As we gaze on your kingly brightness

So our faces display your likeness

Ever changing from glory to glory

Mirrored here may our lives tell your story

Shine on UK, shine on UK

Repeat chorus

• May under fire: Prime Minister faces BOOING (disapproval) at conference in Brexit backlash.

• Bitter in-fighting has broken out in Conservative ranks, with Leave supporters furious at Philip Hammond’s recent claim that a no-deal would be bad for Britain’s economy. 

• The Chancellor said Britain’s GDP could drop by up to 10 per cent if Britain leaves the EU without a deal.

• Mrs May could now face outright mutiny when party members convene in Birmingham, with a prominent Brexiteer MP warning she could be slow hand-clapped during her speech.

• “It’s becoming increasingly obvious to Conservative supporters that we need a new PM to rescue Brexit, and rescue our country and our party.

Lately, there are lots of speculations about Brexit, UK moving out of EU which poses challenges: Trade (restriction on both export and import), Migration, Divorce Bill (based on spending commitment and communal budget between UK and EU), Rights of Citizen

In one of her major speech, the Prime Minister said there was “no escaping the complexity of the task ahead” as she accepted “tensions” in the British negotiating position and detailed the costly new systems needed to maintain post-Brexit trade.

Speaking to an audience of Tory cabinet ministers, business people and diplomats, Ms May said: “I want to be straight with people – because the reality is that we all need to face up to some hard facts.”

“We are leaving the single market. Life is going to be different. In certain ways, our access to each other’s markets will be less than it is now.”

She also admitted that after withdrawal the UK will have less access to EU markets, will be affected by the European Court’s judgments and must commit to staying in step with some Brussels rules.
