Disputed memo says Britain has no Brexit plan
None
Britain has no overall strategy for leaving the European Union and splits in Prime Minister Theresa May's cabinet could delay a clear negotiating position for six months, according to a leaked Deloitte memo that the government dismissed as having no credibility.
The document was written by consultants at Deloitte and leaked to The Times newspaper, which said it had been prepared for the government department that supports the prime minister and her cabinet, something disputed by both Downing Street and Deloitte, which said it was not commissioned by the government. It casts Britain's top team in a chaotic light: May is trying to control key Brexit questions herself while her senior ministers are divided and the civil service is in turmoil.
"The Prime Minister is rapidly acquiring the reputation of drawing in decisions and details to settle matters herself, which is unlikely to be sustainable," according to the document, dated Nov. 7 and published by The Times.
