Different politicians, different measures
The UK election was the worst thing that could have happened to Theresa May but it's also going to punish voters with because of the incoherent negotiation strategy as different factions in the government wrangle for power.
The latest twist came on Friday when Chancellor of the Exchequer Phillip Hammond said that if/when the UK departs the EU in March 2019, nothing should change right away and the status quo should stay in place for 2-3 years, including free movement of people.
Not so, said Trade Secretary Liam Fox today. Continuing free movement after 2019 would "not keep faith" with the Brexit vote, he told The Sunday Times today.
In a hint of the division within his party, he said that any transitional arrangement "has to be an agreement by the cabinet," Fox said. "It can't just be made by an individual or any group within the cabinet."
