I think the pro-EU optimists will be disappointed, and expect that May will invoke Article 50 next January or February. Why? Because the rest of the EU is already furious enough about what it sees as foot-dragging in London. Other EU leaders have already given May extra time. When the Conservative Party leadership election was due to end in September, she planned to trigger Article 50 early next year and did not bring the date forward when she became PM in July. Any further delay might be counterproductive for Britain. Although the European Commission and May’s EU counterparts cannot force us to start formal negotiations, they can make life very difficult for us when we eventually do. And it is “when,” not “if”.

There is a lot to be said for pulling the trigger after the French and German elections imho

The rest of the EU is furious?
All the Eurocrats are on their long holidays, for now the UK's exact timing will be the last thing on their minds.
Furious? One or 2 EU bigwigs and politicians made some posturing statements about the UK hurrying up that didn't even go down well with the citizens of the rest of the EU.
The artificial 2 year Leave window means the UK needs to get it's ducks in a nice orderly row before pulling the Article 50 trigger.

Not in my experience. Seem to employ very expensive auditors to claw back back previously disbursed funds. A cottage industry in itself.

Quote from the article:

The view is that it would be political suicide to ignore the referendum decision or try to work round it

Putting party ahead of country again - no change there then.

UK unemployment claimant count falls after Brexit.

The UK job market has not been dented in the immediate aftermath of Brexit, as the number of people claiming jobseeker’s allowance unexpectedly fell in July.

The claimant count fell by 8,600, compared with expectations of a rise of 9,500, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The unemployment rate in the three months to the end of June was unchanged at 4.9%. Average weekly earnings excluding bonuses rose 2.3% over the same period.

That`ll be the 'special status' commensurate with the 750K German jobs relying on UK consumption of their motor vehicles I`m guessing.
No Norway or Switzerland we!
