‘Trust me to deliver’ Brexit even as cabinet split: May

Bloomberg

UK Prime Minister Theresa May called for unity over Brexit, following a week in which Cabinet tensions spilled over and her plan for Britain’s trading relationship with the European Union was labeled “crazy” by a key party member.
“You can trust me to deliver,” May wrote in the Sunday Times newspaper. “The path I am setting out is the path to deliver the Brexit people voted for,” she said, adding, “I will not let you down.”
Less than a year until the UK leaves the EU, May’s government still can’t agree what to seek in the exit negotiations. The resignation of a key ally left May outnumbered in her inner “war cabinet” over her proposal for a close customs relationship with the bloc, while the Sunday Telegraph reported that at least 12 ministers — of 28 who sit in Cabinet with May — are set to oppose her plan.
May ordered her ministers to take responsibility for resolving the Brexit customs dilemma themselves, splitting her inner Brexit Cabinet into two working groups to iron out their differences. Both include ministers from the pro- and anti-Brexit factions, but two of the most hardline on each side — Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Chancellor Philip Hammond — aren’t included.
