Florence Speech

A furtively published “framework” for future security co-operation begs fundamental questions of finance and dispute resolution.

Since PM laid out hard-Brexit red lines at start of 2017 we’ve had one u-turn after another. Here’s our recap of the most significant.

With one flip-flop after another, PM’s deal with EU leaders is far cry from bullish Lancaster House vision. Here’s our definitive run-down.

PM seems on point of u-turn on locking Brexit date in legislation. Our guide to her 6 other top climbdowns and 4 she still needs to make.

PM dashed to Brussels because she’s desperate for transition. But a deal will be too short and too uncertain to stop relocations.

Tory chaos raises risk of no deal. But when public sees that, it may decide it doesn’t want to charge like lemmings over a cliff.

PM’s goal of keeping things much as they are is good. But it won’t come easy. One also wonders why we’re quitting EU if this is our goal.

Despite eight u-turns in May’s Florence speech, she’ll need to make more before EU shifts talks to trade. Time is running out.

PM’s “registration scheme” for EU citizens will have to conform to EU law if she wants a transition deal from Brussels.

Government is on the run as reality bites. Pro-Europeans must boldly make case to abandon this mad escapade before it’s too late.

PM wanted to break stalemate in negotiations and paper over differences in Tory party. Early reaction suggests she’s achieved neither.

May made string of climb-downs in her Florence speech. It’s good she’s bowing to reality but in process she’s destroying case for Brexit.
