She thought in particular that we in Britain should be less dependent on Russian hyrdrocarbons and she thought we should get on with seeking alternative sources, her general anxiety was that Putin, if unchallenged and unchecked, would continue to expand his influence in the perimeter of what was the Soviet Union. I was very, very struck by that.

Today should have been the day that Brexit was delivered and we finally left the EU.

It's time to unite the country and get Brexit done.

I pay tribute to those who have campaigned so passionately and tirelessly on this issue - your efforts have made all the difference.

All such traders in human beings should be hunted down and brought to justice.

I have made clear since becoming Prime Minister and made clear to parliament again today, my view, and the Government's position, that a further extension would damage the interests of the UK and our EU partners, and the relationship between us.

We've got a great new deal that takes back control — now parliament should get Brexit done on Saturday.

People are tired of stasis, gridlock and waiting for change, and they don't want to wait any longer to get Brexit done.

Any one of these risks we could cope with, but taken collectively they would be a massive challenge to the UK state and no one would choose to go down that route.

I am afraid the security people didn't want me to come along tonight because they said the road was full of uncooperative crusties, they said there was some risk that I would be egged.

But they should be under no illusions or misapprehensions, there will be no more dither or delay. On Oct. 31 we are going to get Brexit done.

And I salute the spirit of compromise from MPs on all sides who have looked at what's on the table, reflected on what's best for their constituents, and decided they are willing to put aside their personal beliefs and back the deal that they know will get Brexit done.

They are beginning to suspect that there are forces in this country that simply dont want Brexit delivered at all, and if they turn out to be right in that suspicion, then I believe there will be grave consequences for trust in our democracy.

We have made huge progress and I hope very much that in the course of the next few days we are going to get there.

That's just the reality, because in the end, a sovereign, united country must have a single customs territory. When the UK withdraws from the EU that must be the state of affairs that we have.

What we want to do is to get rid of the backstop, that is the most important thing.

What we're coming up to now is, as it were, the critical moment of choice for us as friends and partners about how we proceed.

We will obey the law, but we're confident we can come out on Oct. 31 and the best way to do that is to get a deal, that's why the surrender act is so damaging.

I totally reject this anti-science pessimism. I am profoundly optimistic about the ability of new technology to serve as a liberator and remake the world wondrously.

As the law currently stands, United Kingdoms leaves the EU on Oct. 31 come what may, but the exciting thing for us now is to get a good deal. And that is what we are working on, and to be honest, it is not made much easier by this kind of stuff in Parliament or in the courts.

Frankly we need to get on with Brexit, whether they voted to Leave or Remain they want to get this thing done by October 31 and that's what we're going to do.
