An optimistic tone is not enough and the phrase ‘Brexit means Brexit’ has surely passed its shelf life,” said Anna Soubry, who voted to remain in the EU. But he added that there would be no delay in quitting the EU, which will be started when Britain triggers Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty. “I would rather be a month late and get it right than be a month early and get it wrong.”
