Media caption Brexit will "make Black Wednesday look like a picnic", says David Davis' former aide James Chapman (left) The former chief of staff to Brexit Secretary David Davis has said leaving the EU will be a "calamity for our country". James Chapman claimed two cabinet ministers had expressed interest in a new centre party to oppose Brexit. He also claimed that the Conservatives will struggle to win a majority again. Pro-Brexit Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said the party was "broadly united" and most voters accepted the result of last year's referendum. Mr Chapman is the Daily Mail's former political editor and was a senior adviser to former Chancellor George Osborne before becoming Brexit Secretary David Davis's chief of staff. He quit the government before June's general election and now works in public relations. In recent weeks he has launched a series of social media attacks on his former Brexit-supporting coll...

EL SUPREMO BRITÁNICO PIDE CLARIDAD PARA LA ETAPA POST 'BREXIT'

El Supremo británico pide claridad para la etapa post 'Brexit' May quiere que los jueces decidan ante el tribunal europeo Eva M. Millán Londres El albedrío que el Gobierno británico prevé otorgar para que los jueces decidan si siguen el criterio del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, una vez consumada la salida de Reino Unido, amenaza con un galimatías jurídico que podrían acabar pagando los magistrados. Así lo advirtió el presidente del Tribunal Supremo británico, quien pide al Ejecutivo ¿claridad" sobre si quiere que los jueces tengan en cuenta las decisiones de la corte comunitaria. La crítica no es menor, puesto que cuestiona la estrategia de Theresa May para una de las áreas más delicadas del Brexit. David Neuberger demanda instrucciones específicas con rango estatutario, frente a la flexibilidad propuesta para que cada juez resuelva si ¿considera apropiado" seguir el parecer de la audiencia comunitaria. May reitera que la jurisprudencia europea acaba con ...

Cabinet splits

The semblance of unity behind a “life-as-normal” Brexit didn’t last. Less than two days after Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond outlined a plan for a long transition after the March 2019 breakup, Cabinet colleagues began  challenging the details . Trade Secretary  Liam Fox  used a  Sunday Times  interview to deny that ministers had agreed to allow European Union citizens to freely live, travel to, and work in the U.K. beyond the two-year negotiations. He argued doing so would “not keep faith” with voters’ decision to leave. Over in the  Sunday Telegraph , economist  Gerard Lyons , a former adviser to Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, warned against “alarmist talk” and said any transition should last just two years, shorter than what Hammond has proposed. Former Brexit Minister  David Jones  told the  Mail on Sunday  that Remainers such as Hammond had used May’s holiday to “go on maneuvers.” The co...
