UK PM May due to speak around 14.30 GMT in the lower House 9 Oct
Missing your daily fix of Brexit bs ? Well only a few hours to wait now folks.
She'll be stepping up in that urgent questions/statements slot. Timing not precise as it will depend on the length of previous debate. Watch it live here
Anyhow we're not expecting anything new but plenty of peacock-suiting as May tries to re-assert her authority both at home and abroad. Limited impact on GBP pairs but the algos as ever will pick up on any comments out of line.
The BBC has seen a copy of the speech:
"In her first address to parliament since she outlined her plans in Florence, Mrs May will describe the government's ambition for a "new, deep and special partnership between a sovereign United Kingdom and a strong and successful European Union."
"Achieving that partnership will require leadership and flexibility, not just from us but from our friends, the 27 nations of the EU.
"And as we look forward to the next stage, the ball is in their court. But I am optimistic we will receive a positive response."
The PM will reiterate the need for a "spirit of friendship and co-operation" in the talks, but say: "I believe we can seize the opportunities of this defining moment in the history of our nation."
Yada yada yada. Mind your back Theresa.
This week's Brexit talks are Round 5 and will be the last before the 19 Oct EU Summit with the clock very much ticking still.
