Prime Minister insisted the nation had to move on - saying Britain 'voted to leave'
THERESA May has torn into Remoaners and told those who didn’t want Brexit to stop fighting the EU campaign - saying Britain "voted to leave".
The attack came a day after the Crown Prosecution Service said it was considering complaints against Brexiteers, the Prime Minister insisted the nation had to move on.
She insisted the Government has a "mandate" to trigger talks on EU withdrawal, despite the shock legal decision at the High Court last Thursday.
The Government is awaiting a Supreme Court hearing in December to see if it can overturn the decision it must seek Parliament's approval before invoking Article 50 and set off the two-year process of negotiating Brexit.
She said: "I think what we need to do now is not focus on what happened during the campaign.
"People voted on whether or not they wanted to leave the EU.
"They voted to leave the EU and what I'm focusing on now and what I'm determined to do is to deliver that and make a success of it."
Speaking at the end of her trip to India, the PM admitted the Brexit talks would be "complex" and there would be challenges ahead.
