Brexit negotiations: Deal must be a success for EU’s youth

AT the opening of parliament in London yesterday, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth set out her government’s legislative plans which focus largely on Brexit. 

They include a Repeal Bill to overturn the 1972 act which took Britain into the EEC in 1973, the same year that Ireland joined.

Brexit was also on the agenda during talks between the Conservative Party and the Democratic Unionist Party as prime minister Theresa May faced the embarrassment of her queen’s speech going ahead without the backing of the DUP — 10 days after she claimed a deal was done.
