UK publishes controversial Brexit plan after cabinet rebellion
LONDON, July 12, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Britain on Thursday published a plan for
future ties with the European Union after Brexit that prompted high-profile
resignations from the cabinet and an ongoing rebellion among hardliners in
Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative party.
May wrote in a foreword to the controversial policy paper, which calls for
a free trade area and common rules with the EU for goods, that reaching a
Brexit agreement with Brussels “requires pragmatism and compromise from both
sides”.
