UK PM May's spokesman with daily press briefing 1 May

Eh, what? Surely some element of snow blindness hitting Downing Street this morning.

  • UK aiming for transition deal this month
  • PM briefed cabinet on Brexit speech to be delivered tomorrow
  • set out ambitious economic partnership with EU
  • speech represents a real step forward in Brexit negotiations

That remains to be seen.

May due to meet with Donald Tusk today in London ahead of her keynote speech tomorrow afternoon. No exact timings yet given.
