Getting Brexit Done – The Hard Work Starts Now

Recommendation: Initiate with a binding motion triggering negotiations and setting a timetable, a call made to MPs to back aims reflecting your priorities. Votes will be counted across divisions and must be entirely aligned with strategic goals. Such clarity will prevent drift and ensure progress is not merely rhetorical.

Reality check: carmichael warned that chaos can erupt when credible schedules lack publication; actually progress depends on negotiations, not rhetoric alone. MPs must consider amendment that addresses critical issues while keeping review cycles tight, so that outcomes are credible and complete.

Amendment path: A practical route toward a complete framework involves amendment that locks in timelines, roles, and funding. This motion will mean stronger accountability, and they will need to demonstrate that such motion yields real change. If such path is rejected, just consider alternative routes, but keep your motion anchored in measurable milestones.

Your next steps: Set up a cross-party task group to push motion forward; consider amendment sequence; publish call to stakeholders; secure much support across benches to move forward. Just as carmichael warned, disciplined timing and transparent reporting prevent chaos; ensure hlasy align with reachable outcomes and avoid drift.

Set a post-Article 50 timeline with concrete milestones and decision points

Set a fixed 24-month post-Article 50 timeline with quarterly milestones and clearly defined decision points. Appoint a single accountable lead to own this process, reporting to a speaker and to a cross-party committee to keep momentum. Publish a paper outlining scope, risks, and amendment needs, including immediate steps for triggering votes when rules permit. Make information accessible around downing street to ensure transparency for people and their votes; this move is declared as general guidance to keep momentum without delay.

Milníky

0-30 days: made actions include publishing a proper paper, setting up a cross-party track, and gathering necessary votes for early decisions. Davis role makes sure messaging remains consistent; immediate communications trigger opportunity for feedback from people.

60-90 days: general review of amendment options, with settled scope. 90-120 days: decisions on whether to move to a formal vote, supported by a consolidated paper. 180 days: draft implementation around article 50’s provisions. 12 months: finalization of negotiation positions; 18 months: test options in a controlled parliamentary process; 24 months: declare a concrete move forward, finalize legal steps, and document legacy of votes.

Decision points and governance

Each milestone yields concrete decisions on moving forward or adjusting scope. A ruling from speaker or cross-party committee determines next steps, keeps process proper and avoids triggering premature action. A public paper accompanies each vote, ensuring that people understand what is at stake, what amendment may be needed, and what votes are required. Since all moves hinge on votes, decisions should be recorded, with legacy clearly stated and archived. downing street liaison and Davis support ensure immediate coordination around decisions during peak periods. thank participants for input as this process proceeds.

What May’s pledge to reveal a Brexit plan before triggering Article 50 means for negotiators and MPs

Publishing a clear withdrawal plan early through a concrete strategy that maps their move, timelines, and means to keep people informed.

That approach gives negotiators a firm reference point because ministers and governments can answer asked questions quickly; theresa would oversee publishing core details.

MPs would be asked to weigh alternative options and highlight needs, ensuring plans fit people’s priorities.

To move forward, select a plan that wins majority votes; if not, move to a revised strategy with broader support.

Party dynamics: theresa, supported by ministers, should align with cross‑party groups around article 50 negotiations, reducing risk and improving outcomes.

Publishing early supports accountability because people can ensure performance is transparent through published evidence.

Bottom line: through prepared plans and open publishing, negotiators can move with confidence, while votes in parliament focus on tested options rather than guesswork.

Define negotiation priorities: customs union, single market options, Ireland/Northern Ireland border, and regulatory alignment

Immediate recommendation: adopt phased, evidence-led path centered on four pillars, with aims rooted in economic resilience and social outcomes. A customs union would maintain tariff-free goods flow, reduce border friction, and support manufacturing competitiveness. In terms of single market options, pursue selective alignment that protects supply chains while retaining flexibility for services and innovation, avoiding a full fixed membership that would entail heavy compliance burdens. Ireland/Northern Ireland border requires a pragmatic mechanism preventing hard checks, preserving open access across land routes, while delivering legal predictability to businesses and workers. This plan addresses needs across industry and households.

Implementation and oversight

Implementation and oversight: draft a joint paper outlining terms for regulatory alignment and a clear timetable, with parliamentary oversight to satisfy asked questions from all sides. In light of prorogation risk, set fixed milestones that would be immediate for key sectors. Bills should be framed to ensure proper protections for workers and consumers, while staying flexible enough to adapt to immigration demands and changing trade patterns. People across regions want certainty, so select a handful of non-negotiable terms and describe options for leaving in a way that minimizes disruption. This would avoid lack of specificity and keep talks focused on actual delivery, because stakeholders asked for concrete measures, not broad promises. Lessons from theresa era underline that rushing decisions without scrutiny invites delays, so taking time to publish papers and seek approval matters. bercow norms of parliamentary oversight would guide a disciplined timetable and clear reporting. Election timing can complicate calendars; building contingency plans now reduces last minute scrambles.

Assess sector-specific impacts: manufacturing, services, finance, and agriculture readiness

Recommendation: publish a four-sector readiness scorecard within 30 days, with KPIs for manufacturing, services, finance, and agriculture, plus an action plan and funding envelope. Publishing promptly will align negotiations across governments and set early signals for investors.

Manufacturing readiness focuses on input sourcing, energy costs, and supplier resilience.

• Výroba

  Exposure: around 45% of intermediate inputs originate from EU suppliers; customs checks could add 2-5 days to lead times; energy costs volatility pressures margins.

  Taking action: amend­ment to procurement rules prioritizing domestic suppliers; build a united regional sourcing network; establish onshore hubs for critical components; keep buffers for energy price changes.

  Context: john notes that procurement fragmentation raises risk; a united approach could reduce disruption around sourcing and ending heavy dependence on a single region.

  • Metrics: share of EU-origin inputs; average supplier lead time; plant downtime; energy cost per unit; manufacturing output per hour.
  • Policy levers: governments could provide targeted capital grants; simplify customs for priority goods; align immigration lanes to support skilled labor; secretary-level coordination ensures early decision-making.
  • Question: what mechanism ensures least disruption to supply, and what article provisions speed approvals? Publishing the answer would guide negotiations around ending tariff checks.

• Služby

  Exposure: cross-border data flows and movement of people; service continuity risk if immigration rules tighten or data rules diverge.

  Actions: publish framework for mutual recognition of professional services; expand temporary visa routes for skilled labor; invest in remote delivery and cloud platforms; keep data protection standards aligned to minimize friction.

  Metrics: data-flow compliance rate; visa processing times; service continuity incidents; customer resolution time.

  Policy levers: adopt same-wide regulatory approach across regions; governments could conclude a general agreement on professional services; early call to finalize settlements with regulators; keep momentum via ongoing secretary involvement.

  Note: nothing remains unaddressed if immigration routes are not modernized; also, keep your teams trained for market-specific changes.

• Finance

  Exposure: tření plateb přes hranice; nejistota ohledně přístupu na kapitálové trhy; regulační riziko divergence pro clearing a řízení rizik.

  Akce: udržovat ekvivalenci s EU, pokud je to proveditelné; urychlit spolupráci dohledu; rozšířit fintech sandboxové prostředí; zřídit záložní likvidní zařízení pro přechody.

  Metriky: čas potřebný k vyřízení hraničních plateb; počet aktivních dohod o ekvivalenci; stabilita ukazatele pokrytí likviditou; počet vydaných fintech licencí.

  Regulační páky: regulátoři by mohli zveřejnit společný rámec; zapojení do jednání s evropskými partnery v rané fázi; imigrace rizikových profesionálů; celková strategie minimalizace narušení trhu.

  • Rozhodnutí: rozhodnout, které regulační oblasti si zaslouží okamžitou harmonizaci, aby se udržela důvěra na trhu.

• Zemědělství

  Expozice: závislost na sezónních pracovnících; celní opatření týkající se zemědělských potravinářských výrobků; cenová volatilita v důsledku úpraví cel; riziko snadno zkažitelného zboží v případě, že pohraniční kontroly zpozdí zásilky.

  Akce: rozšířit domácí produkci plodin s vysokou poptávkou; investovat do automatizace při sklizni a balení; upravit programy pro sezónní pracovníky tak, aby zajistily stálou pracovní sílu; zavést zrychlené pohraniční kontroly pro zemědělské produkty.

  Metriky: podíl produkce získané z domácích zdrojů; výnos úrody na hektar; produktivita práce; míra ztrát.

  Policy levers: adjust immigration rules to support seasonal labor; subsidies for cold storage and logistics; publish an early strategy to safeguard food security; secretary-level coordination to keep trade flows predictable.

Publikujte společný dokument s podporou napříč stranami, který vysvětlí cíle, stanoví konkrétní časový harmonogram pro třetí skutečně významné hlasování a stanoví jasná pravidla pro pozměňovací návrhy. Jeden návrh spuštěný rozhodnutím Bercowa zarovná načasování. Zahrňte dokument podrobně rozebírající cíle jednání, správné hranice pro pozměňovací návrhy a legislativní cestu navrženou tak, aby si získala širokou podporu.

Křížové stranické sdělování a koordinace

Zřídit mezi stranické komunikační oddělení vedené sekretářem, se zastoupením od hlavních frakcí, aby se prohlášení shodovala v cílech, předešly se rozporům a respektovaly pokyny mluvčího.

Zahrňte příspěvky od Davise, aby Downing Street byla v souladu s procesními omezeními. Pravidelné mítinky s šéfy stran by se měly vyhnout; namísto toho poskytujte stručné aktualizace vázané na konkrétní milníky. Zajistěte, aby sdělení kladlo důraz na respekt k parlamentnímu procesu a termínům, a ne na oportunistické rámování.

Připravte plán krizového řízení, který pokrývá scénáře odložení schůze, s připravenými náhradními návrhy, které zajistí, že jejich postoje zůstanou v souladu s veřejnou komunikací. Veškeré zprávy by měly posilovat shodu na plánu, který sníží zmatek a udrží pokrok na správné cestě.
