If that's a "hard Brexit" then well "shrug"...
And, if you are a citizen of a state enjoying its freedoms and protections, you also have duties and obligations to it, even if you may hold dual (or even tri) citizenship, and can't 9or shouldn't) absent yourself from them.

Better than having three 'general' objectives, and being all wishy-washy about whether or not the outcome matches the rhetoric on all of them.
The way the objectives have been crafted are - like everything else - part of the politics of the negotiation strategy.

Highly dangerous. And Trump won't be doing much and indeed will probably send out a tweet which makes things worse.
Making the positions of David Cameron, and perhaps more importantly Osborne, Farron and Corbyn, look very out of touch.
I look forward to the post speech polls....
Many EU leaders want to agree quickly deal guaranteeing rights of EU citizens in UK and UK Citizens in the EU - some do not.
Cue a few orange book tories kicking up a fuss.
i.e., because the market is still in denial, and is hoping that Brexit can be scuppered in some way.
A vote being tabled means a vote would pass. And a vote would have to pass for the deal to be signed and made law....
Of course, it takes two (or in this case 28) to tango, and there's absolutely no guarantee that what she wants will be on offer.
