Brexit
May looks forward to a #Brexit break
The summer holidays can’t come soon enough for Theresa May. Members of parliament start a six week holiday from Tuesday, drawing a temporary halt to the bruising battles that have marked Britain’s long goodbye to the European Union over the past week, write Jon Boyle and Sujata Rao.
With the latest polls showing voters are deeply underwhelmed with May's handling of the Brexit crisis, there's probably little chance of her deciding on a snap election while on a hill-walking holiday with her husband. The last time she did that it didn't end well.
When parliament resumes its deliberations this autumn there will be just six months to go to Departure Day and plenty of scope for more confusion and recrimination. And not just within her Conservative Party. A lot of work remains to be done if May is to achieve her goal of avoiding a hard exit from the EU on 29 March 2019.
