Theresa May refused THREE times to answer a simple question on her Brexit plan today, as she took a pummelling at PMQs .

The Prime Minister has promised a “detailed, ambitious and precise” government White Paper, outlining her plan for Britains’ future relationship with the EU.

The paper was intended to put Britain on the front foot when it comes to the next crucial set of negotiations on the final Brexit deal.

But sustained Cabinet infighting is reported to have delayed the publication of the paper, as Mrs May’s senior ministers failed to agree on the finer points of our relationship with the customs union and the Northern Irish border.

As a result, there are rumblings that the paper won’t be published until AFTER the forthcoming European Commission summit - which begins on June 28th.

Which is pretty awkward.

And the Prime Minister today repeatedly refused to put a date on the plan’s publication.

First Jeremy Corbyn asked not once, but twice for a date.

She refused to answer whether it would be published the summit or whether MPs will have a chance to debate it first.

Later in PMQs, Labour MP Steve Reed gave her a third chance to answer the question.

He said: “The cabinet agreed to publish a Brexit white paper ahead of this month’s crunch EU council meeting, to allow the government to negotiate. The Brexit Secretary said it would be detailed, ambitious and precise.

“So will she confirm whether the Brexit White Paper will be published before the EU council meeting, or is she unable to negotiate for the UK because she’s negotiating with her own cabinet?”

Again, Mrs May refused to answer, saying: “What the Government said is that we will be publishing a White Paper, which will be detailed and ambitious, and we will do just that.”
