Of parliament in westminster. Plans to make britain an independent, sovereign nation will be published this morning just one day after theresa may started the process of brexit. The great repeal bill will outline how the government plans to repatriate more than a0 years worth of powers from the European Union and convert thousands of eu rules into british law. Yesterday, theresa may described britains departure from the eu as an historic moment from which there can be no turning back. Eleanor garnier reports. Cometh the hour, cometh the moment, in westminster, belfast, edinburgh and cardiff the exact moment the uk took a new and different course. This is an historic moment from which there is no turning back. The letter, hand delivered by our man in brussels, telling the eu we are on our way out. Written in a deliberately conciliatory tone. But a hint, too, of the steel in mrs mays stance. No overt threat to walk away, but a serious warning, as she wrote a failure to reach an agreement
