Prime Minister Theresa May is to use a speech in late September to try to force the pace of Brexit negotiations as an October showdown with her European counterparts looms.
She will explain how a raft of British position papers offer a vision of a “deep and special partnership” with the European Union, and make the case for continuous talks with a view to inject urgency into the discussion and tilt the direction toward trade. This much has been said by her team in the lead-up to an address that will unveil her latest thinking on Britain’s exit from the EU.
