Even the Queen doesn't think much of May's so-called 'Brexit plans'
Quote:
Queen’s frustration with May over Brexit secrecy Why does everyone keep pretending that May, much less the Brexiters, have a plan for Brexit ?●PM ‘disappointed’ royals during Balmoral visit ● No briefing about preparations for EU exit The Queen was left “disappointed” with Theresa May after the prime minister declined to share plans for Brexit during her first stay at Balmoral, The Times has learnt. Mrs May stuck to her “Brexit means Brexit” line during the visit to Scotland in September rather than giving a private briefing on how she intended to negotiate Britain’s way out of the European Union, according to a source close to the monarch. The prime minister’s failure to go beyond her public remarks during the stay meant that the Queen’s relationship with her 13th prime minister did not get off to an ideal start, the account suggests. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/ne...recy-kxv3wwkj7 The truth is: they haven't got a clue. |

The Queen shouldn't really be asking the Prime Minister about it to be honest.
Also I doubt that she did it in that way or even felt like that after. ... "according to a source close to the monarch" Highly irregular and I expect the Queen wouldn't be happy with the 'source'. But it also says:- ... "the account suggests." |

Their plan is to delay Brexit for as long as possible or at the very least until the next election.
May is a pro-EU elitist and is therefore convinced that David Cameron made a mistake by calling for a referendum. Her job now is to undo that 'mistake' and keep everyone happy at the same time. If there's still no Brexit by the next election or if the talks are still in progress, I think there will be a Tory/Lib Dem coalition again. The Lib Dems will do everything they can to stop Brexit and I think that's the excuse May is looking for. The Lib Dems will be the scapegoats, May will come across as the good guy and there will be no Brexit. May would never reveal such a devious plan to the Brexit-supporting Queen because she's a lady of honour and telling her would only serve to potentially damage her reputation at a later date. That's my theory. Whatever happens, we will not be leaving the EU. |

Mrs May is a turncoat. Her words are empty and she cannot be trusted. I thought how frail the Queen looked recently, but she is obviously is still wised up to the deviousness and unreliability of politicians, and Mrs May in particular. We are certainly going through strange and uncertain times.

Actually it isn't her job.
As Head of State, The Queen is entitled to ask any of her ministers about Government business. |

No she isn't but what she can do is express her views. What she shouldn't do is ask questions about policy and strategy!
The Queen gives a weekly audience to the Prime Minister at which she has a right and a duty to express her views on Government matters of the day She's Head of State. In theory, she could sack every Government minister tomorrow if she wanted. |

When David Davies our Transexit Minister was asked if MPs would have the government's plan in January or February....he waffled about still collecting data and was unable to indicate when the plan would be announced.
Despite the years of research, reports etc it took Theresa May's government 4 months to decide their position on a new runway. So I can't see them making a considered & thoughtful decision in 1-2 months as to where the government is heading with Brexit. |
