The worry for me is why the EU is so keen to get the UK to invoke Article 50.

I'm wondering if the recent referendum in Hungary knocking back quotas and the recent German elections showing gains by the anti-EU parties is causing concern in the EU ranks.

Is it a case of a desire for damage limitation or is the EU looking forward to pounding the UK so that it can proceed with those policies opposed by the UK?

Must be confusing for the EU particularly as some UK MPs are wanting a quick Brexit and others not and some want a hard Brexit and others a softer version, plus the varying comments by Fox, Johnson and May. Are these designed to catch the EU off balance or are they a general indication of the government confusion over Brexit?

There's also the variations in British industries' requirements with some wanting the single market and others happy to work outside it.

It'll be interesting to hear what other news we hear in the run-up to Brexit because Theresa May strikes me as a careful planner, who, unlike Cameron, will definitely have a plan B and probably a plan C, plan D, plan E etc.
