Theresa May has set out what she calls a ‘plan for a global Britain’ in her most significant speech on Brexit yet. She announced that Britain would not seek to stay a member of the EU’s single market or of the customs union but acknowledged that a transition deal may be required. Despite this, Labour’s shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer tells us that this does not necessarily mean Britain is headed for a ‘hard Brexit’ but he is critical of threats to turn Britain into a ‘bargain basement’ tax haven.

Also this week: we hear from two members of the new Commons select committee on Brexit: Conservative MP John Whittingdale (a Brexit supporter) and Seema Malhotra, a Labour MP who supported Remain.



Joining Anushka Asthana to discuss it all are Jonathan Isaby, editor of Brexit Central; Hugo Dixon, editor-in-chief of InFacts and our own Heather Stewart.
