Theresa May to call Cabinet ministers for Brexit discussion

Britain’s prime minister, Theresa May, will gather her cabinet ministers on Wednesday to discuss her plans for Brexit.

May has charged her top team with outlining the opportunities that leaving the European Union will create in each of their portfolios.

The cabinet will meet at the prime minister’s country retreat, Chequers, to discuss the next steps, amid speculation that May will implement Article 50 — triggering the two-year period leading to Brexit — without seeking the backing of parliament.
