Government must bring country together, Cameron urges
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the government has a ‘fundamental responsibility to bring our country together’, following Britain’s narrow majority vote to leave the EU.
Cameron told MPs that negotiating an exit would be the civil service’s most complex and important task for decades. Cameron is also due to step down as Prime Minster by October, which has triggered a Conservative leadership contest.
The news comes as Labour faces increasing uncertainty as a result of several MPs resigning from their positions claiming a vote of no confidence in leader Jeremy Corbyn. A secret ballot on Corbyn’s leadership is set to be held after nearly 40 of his shadow ministerial team resigned.
EU leaders have said they will not hold informal talks with the UK until it officially notifies them of its exit.
The Prime minister told MPs that they must rally for the ‘challenging new negotiations’ ahead.
