Theresa May is quoted by the BBC:
"Let no-one doubt our determination or question our resolve, Brexit is happening.The irony being that the 11PM deadline (as opposed to midnight UK time) is for the benefit of the EU (11PM GMT being midnight European time).
It will be there in black and white on the front page of this historic piece of legislation: the United Kingdom will be leaving the EU on March 29, 2019 at 11pm GMT."

May Delays Brexit
Guy Verhofstadt, the European parliament's lead negotiator, told the European Parliament’s Committee on Constitutional Affairs yesterday that Brexit negotiations will be delayed:
“Possibly the next round of negotiation will be the last week of September because apparently there will be an important intervention by the British Prime Minister in the coming days, foreseen on September 21.”Needless to say social media is abuzz with speculation as to what this means:
-Brexit cancelled?
-£50BN Brexit bill agreed?
-Another referendum?
No, in my view this is simply a result of Theresa May and her minions over egging the contents and ramifications of a speech about Brexit that she is planning to make towards the end of September.
Well done Theresa, you've delayed the Brexit process again!

Hammond Wants Off The Shelf Brexit Transition
The FT reports that chancellor Philip Hammond has told business leaders he wants to negotiate a simple “off-the-shelf” (rather than bespoke) transition deal with Brussels to maintain current trading relations with Europe for at least two years after Brexit.
Hammond said he wants a “standstill” transition leaving companies with full access to the single market and customs union, followed by a further “implementation phase” while a new, UK-specific trade accord is put in place.
The tripping point for his cabinet colleagues is the fact that this would see Britain stripped of voting rights and influence in Brussels but obliged to accept European Court rulings, free movement rules and budget contributions.
Interestingly, whilst other cabinet ministers have let their views be known, Theresa May’s own views are a mystery to colleagues.
The question is, does Theresa May actually have any views or is she waiting to be told what they are?
