The Queen has given Royal Assent to the Brexit bill, which will allow Prime Minister Theresa May to trigger Article 50, and start the two years negotiations to exit the European Union by the end of the month. The Bill was passed by MPs and the Peers on Monday.

Brexit Secretary David Davis said: "By the end of the month we will invoke Article 50, allowing us to start our negotiations to build a positive new partnership with our friends and neighbours in the European Union, as well as taking a step out into the world as a truly Global Britain."
