LONDON — Britain's foreign secretary dismissed as "speculation" suggestions that the U.K. would pay for tariff-free trade with the European Union after it leaves the bloc. The comments reflect the battles within Prime Minister Theresa May's Cabinet as it struggles to carry out the will of the voters who decided June 23 to leave the EU. "The Conservative Party needs to be alert that there is a moderate core of Conservative voters, who voted Remain, and who want to hear the Conservative government speaking above the noise of the Brexiters," they wrote. "They do not want the Conservative party to be UKIP-lite." "The vast majority of Conservative voters would unite behind that and the Prime Minister, trusting her to deliver the best Brexit possible," the group wrote.
