Solutions
1:D - May has confirmed that Article 50 won't be triggered until the end of the year at the earliest. But as for exactly when, your guess is currently as good as ours., 2:D - Theresa May has already said there won't be a second referendum, but until we know what kind of deal is to be negotiated, it's still not outside the realms of possibility., 3:D - What kind of Brexit will be acceptable to the British people? Squaring the circle of free movement and access to the single market will go to the heart of the negotiations over the next few years, 4:B - Though PM Theresa May will be ultimately responsible, Tory veteran and leave campaigner David Davis heads up a new government department tasked with negotiating Brexit, 5:B - The pound was worth $1.50 on 23 June. It is now trading at around $1.30 - down about 13%, 6:D - The government has given no firm guarantee about the future status of EU citizens living in the UK, saying it depends on what reciprocal deals can be arranged with other EU members, 7:C - According to May, migration numbers will be a key focus of Brexit talks but as of yet we don't know if there's been a change. The February 2017 ONS release will be the first to include migration number changes post-referendum., 8:D - David Davies' new department for exiting the EU will of course come at a cost. No one knows exactly what that is yet but in PMQs Tim Farron asked about reports that the lawyers for the department would cost “£5,000 per head per day.” , 9:D - Since the referendum result, there has been no new cash announced for the NHS. , 10:D - We won't know this until we know when Article 50 will be trigged, after which Britain has two years to negotiate its withdrawal.
