Brexit Delayed Until 2021
The British public have voted, so why the delay ?
Is it:
1. May's heart isn't in it and will be gone by the next election. Leaving someone else to tidy up the mess
2. An admission that our Trade Negotiators are useless and 3 years time is beyond them, and they need 2 extra years to catch up.
3. She is too busy trying to save her own neck than concentrate on what is best best for the country.
4. May is the wrong person at the wrong time to be PM.
5. We are all f******ed

Gromit....that figure is being widely reported, but I have yet to hear anybody in authority say it.
Also, we should remember that the extra 2 years that she mentioned has yet to be agreed with the EU, so really, we are not that much further forward than we were when she stepped on to that plane bound for Florence.

// Theresa May is set to propose a transitional deal with the EU of up to two years in a speech on Friday, a cabinet source has told BBC News. //

The £20bn figure was quite clearly leaked by Downing Street. Possibly to test the water amongst Tory MPs. If we did not mention the figure after all in Florence, the feedback might not have been to her liking. But who knows what they are saying behind the clised doors of the talks.

I don't know, Brussels have been pretty clear and consistent about what their goals are. The UK can't have single market access without paying for it, they weren't willing to start negotiations before A50 was triggered, and they wanted negotiations to go procedurally rather than all at once. Their goal - again, quite openly - is the cohesion of the single market, which means they can't give us a deal which incentivises others to consider leaving it.
Try as I might, I'm really not clear at all what "cards" the UK holds. All I ever hear is variants on "we are an important market." Which is true, but it's hard to say whether that's enough for what we want when the govt is so evasive about what its goals are.
Once again, I'd hate to be cynical, but it seems overwhelmingly likely that the govt is being unclear about its objectives so that it can declare victory regardless of what the outcome is. But I'm sure that can't be it...
