For 48 hours, Theresa May looked as if she was controlling her government. On Friday, July 6, the leader of Great Britain summoned all his ministers to the bucolic holiday of the Prime Minister at Checkers.
The British cabinet, almost two years to the day of the referendum on Brexit, would finally agree on a collective position at the exit of the European Union. Ministers who did not sign up were facing the prospect of a long walk – ministerial cars would be immediately withdrawn. That evening, to the surprise of many, May emerged with a deal.
The so-called 'Dealers Deal & # 39; has been announced as a major breakthrough. On Friday night, the BBC reported that May had emerged and that his position had been significantly strengthened after each minister endorsed his proposals.
Subsequently, the Conservative leader sounded an unusually bullish tone, telling a British newspaper that it belonged to the Europeans. Union at the stage up to the mark. "It is now time for Europe to be ready to sit down and speed up the negotiations and discuss them seriously," she said. his own party and through British politics, on Brexit.

But Sunday night, such confidence had evaporated. Hardline Brexiteers had already begun to express their concern with Checkers' plan. Maintaining a "common settlement" for goods with the EU, tariff collection on behalf of the EU, the free movement of skilled workers and EU students and Respect for the European courts was too far for many eurosceptics. Conservative MPs – and David Davis, Minister of Brexit.
On Sunday night, Davis announced that he was resigning from the departing department of the European Union. Davis was nominally in charge of Brexit, but in practice had been usurped by Theresa May's trusted aide, Olly Robbins. In the previous six months, Davis – who is not known for his understanding of the details – had spent less than a few hours with the European Commission's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier.
In his resignation letter, Davis told May that he was not persuaded. that the government's negotiating approach "will not only lead to new demands for concessions" from Brussels. "The general direction of the policy will leave us at best a weak bargaining position, and perhaps inevitable," he added.
May had hoped to wake up Monday in her first week of control of her office since last June. disastrous general elections when the Conservatives lost their majority in the Commons, forcing them to count on the support of the Unionist Democrats. Instead, the Prime Minister lost his Brexit secretary and there were rumors about who would go next.
The most obvious candidate was Boris Johnson. After retiring from the race to succeed David Cameron in 2016 after the European referendum – stabbed in the back by his colleague and colleague leave leave Michael Gove – Johnson was introduced into the cabinet in May in a literal adoption of the old adage "
Nominally, Johnson was Minister of Foreign Affairs – one of Britain's" big state offices "- but, in reality, he was running a freelance operation to maneuver at number 10 Downing Street. The concept of collective responsibility of firms was a foreign concept while Johnson was writing articles in right-wing broadsheets attacking the May Brexit plan. But the prime minister was unable to dismiss the most eminent Brexite in his cabinet; doing so would risk mutiny on the part of his Eurosceptic backbenchers.
