Brexit warning over anti-trafficking body comes as lorry driver is charged with manslaughter.

Today, the Prime Minister triggered Article 50. As she did so, with no warning she launched a veiled threat to Europe over security cooperation. Two hours later the Home Secretary made it worse - threatening to withhold security information from Europe if we don't get the deal we need.

Exactly four weeks before Britain leaves the EU’s single market following Brexit, it is still unclear how much access it will retain to the bloc’s data from security tools used in everything from combating crime to business information.

Dozens of British security officials working at Europol will be ejected from the European crime-fighting agency in the event of a no-deal Brexit, putting thousands of criminal investigations in the UK at grave risk of collapse.

It is "likely" the UK will leave Europol in the wake of Brexit unless a deal is made, the Home Secretary has said.

Prime minister’s remarks in article 50 letter prompt reply that other member states will not accept security collaboration as bargaining chip.

Brexit risks negative impacts on crime and trade in Northern Ireland when the transition period expires at the end of the year, two different UK parliamentary committees were told on Wednesday.

British citizens will be less safe if ministers fail to retain access to “mission critical” European intelligence services after Brexit, according to the former Metropolitan Police commissioner Lord Condon.
