A leaked recording of British Prime Minister Theresa May’s remarks to Goldman Sachs has revealed that May had serious concerns about Britain’s future in the event of its exit from the European Union (EU).
Only a month before the referendum, May was warning her audience of investment bankers privately that companies would leave the United Kingdom (UK) if the country voted for Brexit.
During her address at the bank in London on 26 May, the then home secretary spoke of the economic benefits that the UK stood to gain by choosing to stay within the EU.
May had also said that Britain would benefit in terms of security by staying within the EU because of such tools as the European arrest warrant and the sharing of information between the police and intelligence agencies, as reported by Guardian.
