Clearly there is a plan. However, not only does the Government need to add some detail to it, that detail needs to be gone over and over in order to avoid unintended consequences and omissions. At the same time, our negotiating tactics need to be worked on methodically as well.

The Government was absolutely right to allow time for rigour in this process, and a March 2017 date seems entirely appropriate to me. The EU is going to try to make things as difficult as possible for us, even if they inadvertently or without care shoot themselves in the foot in the meantime. We have to be thoroughly prepared if the Government is to get the best deal for the UK.

There's no hypocrisy there, old chap. Theresa May was not the Prime Minister then and had to follow the Cabinet line. However, she was a remainer and stated the views she believed in at the time.

However, she now has to deliver the will of the people and so she is turning her attention to the opportunities available outside the EU. She wouldn't last five minutes as our PM if she said she was delivering the will of the electorate by concentrating only on the disadvantages of such a move. That would surely show stubborness and inflexibility. If you want that, vote for Corbyn.
