"GET A GRIP"EU leaders have been putting pressure on Britain to trigger article 50 quickly to avoid a prolonged period of uncertainty that is also destabilising for the other 27 member states. "We've got to be clear about what our negotiating stance is before we trigger that article 50, because once we trigger it then all the processes start," said May. While Theresa May thinks that Britain should not rush into triggering Article 50, Andrea Leadsom is of the opinion that the nation should get on with the process. But Leadsom, who was one of the most passionate advocates of Brexit during the referendum campaign, said she would invoke the article as quickly as possible. Once the article is invoked, the clock starts ticking for a deal on the terms of Brexit to be agreed within two years.
