No back-door moves to keep Britain in Europe: PM May

THERESA May has refused pleas to give MPs a vote on triggering Brexit.

The prime minister has said the United Kingdom government will not trigger Article 50 – the official mechanism for beginning the process of separation – until the start of 2017 at the earliest.

Ms Soubry negotiated the Tory response to Britain’s steel crisis, widely attributed to China flooding the global market with cheap exports.

He also ruled out a second European Union referendum.

She has previously said that the government will not trigger Article 50, and the start of the UK’s exit, until the start of 2017 at the earliest.

But as well as May, former Foreign Secretary William Hague believes such a vote would be unnecessary.

Lawyers from the Mishcon de Reya law firm are poised to challenge the government in the English High Court, arguing that May can not trigger Article 50 of the E.U.’s Lisbon Treaty-the legal process for leaving the bloc-without a parliamentary debate and vote authorizing her to do so.

When she said “Brexit means Brexit”, it looks like she wasn’t bluffing.. “Markets hate uncertainty and the events this year have unfortunately created a lot of mystery around what is going to happen next”.

Merkel is also urging the remaining European Union states after Brexit to consider policy decisions more carefully and to avoid disagreements that could lead to other members leaving the EU.

Britain is yet to trigger the “Article 50” exit process from the European Union, but once it does so, at least two years of talks on a new relationship will follow.

“Parliament will be involved, it will have a say, opinions will be aired”. “There is no need for a general election either”, Politicshome reported. Brexit does mean Brexit.

“The will of the people must be respected and it must be implemented …”

“We would then go to the negotiating table and, at the end, put the outcome to a second referendum”.

THERESA May is set to meet with her senior Cabinet ministers to discuss department-by-department Brexit action plans.

The Prime Minister has also stamped down on speculation that she could hold a general election before 2020.

Mr Smith has challenged top Tories who backed calls for a second referendum to “have the courage of their previous convictions”.

May held a meeting with her ministers to determine the steps to take in reference to the country’s exit from the bloc (option known as Brexit), according to a communique issued by the Executive.
