London still believes that the orderly withdrawal of the UK from the European Union (EU) agreed by all parties is likely to be the most likely outcome of the talks, de facto British Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington said.
In an interview at the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio, Italy, Lidington said he’s confident that a deal can be reached by November to allow for parliamentary approvals by March. “It will need a lot of work, but we can’t make the mistake of thinking there is unlimited time,” he added.
At the same time, the Brexit Ministry developed a contingency plan for “unforeseen circumstances”. Recently, negotiations between the European Union and Great Britain have not progressed much.
The current Prime Minister Theresa May is being harshly criticized because of her Brexit strategy – May offers the so-called business Brexit implying the creation of a free trade zone with the EU and compliance with some of the general rules and laws. On the other hand, many Brexit supporters demand a complete reduction of agreements with the EU after the release and consider May’s strategy a betrayal.
