British PM accused for not defining Brexit in her interview

Theresa May was once again accused of not defining Brexit during her first media interview for 2017 with Sky News on Sunday, as the British people expected her to use the medium to explain what she meant by ‘Brexit means Brexit.

Though she was somehow able to give a clue about the UK leaving the EU Single Market, during the interview with Sophy Ridge.

Though the PM refused to rule any possibility out, as she again refused to call immigration a “red line”.

Mrs May acknowledged that the Brexit plan was “taking some time” and established "there hadn't been any plans made for Brexit" when she came into office.

Her negotiation is four dimensional chess - within Cabinet, with her backbenchers, with international business and also with the rest of the EU. It's understandable that it might take a bit of time.

Her words about not wanting to stay in "bits" of the European Union, she has said before, in interviews around her October conference speech.

She did, though, say this: "What I'm looking at is not the means to the end but what the outcome is and I think this is so important. 

"What people want is for us to focus on the right outcome for the UK.

"People who simply talk about issues around membership of the single market, access to the single market, are looking at the means.

"I'm looking at the outcome and the outcome is a really good, ambitious trade deal for the UK with the European Union that enables our companies to trade in and operate in the European single market and that's both goods and services."

Where do we appear to be heading?

The PM will insist on UK repatriation of powers over borders and inward migration into the EU, and then rely on the EU seeing the economic advantage of maintaining for UK companies tariff free access to and operations within the European Single Market.

The PM herself describes this as "ambitious".

She further clarified that the common method, championed by David Davis, is what Sir Ivan Rogers was probably referring to as "muddled".

The PM's response to his resignation? That he was leaving in November anyway.

"I'm ambitious for what we can get for the UK in terms of our relationship with the European Union because I also think that's going to be good for the European Union so our thinking on this isn't muddled at all," she said.
