Teresa May wanted to stay in the EU - and take the lead in Europe, when Home Secretary.
Saying that being in a 500 million bloc gave us a competitive advantage - and that, leaving it, could lose us investment.
After the Brexit result, the lady now has to negotiate the terms on which we will leave the EU, something she was against.
Not an ideal situation perhaps - akin to having a scrum half as a soccer centre forward.
Being coerced into playing a different game is usually not a good idea...
I noticed someone commenting under an Independent article about the following part of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung article about Jean-Claude Juncker's visit to Downing Street (The Disastrous Brexit Dinner), and it seems that the person making the comment may have been justified in thinking that Theresa May wants to claim publicly that she's opting for a hard Brexit and under cover of negotiations she hopes to kept quiet from the press engineer a soft Brexit. The person posting the comment also said that the British press seemed to have missed this part of the article.
"The Brexit-crazed tabloid press breathing down her neck ... May also wants to handle other subjects unconventionally: monthly four-day negotiation blocks in Brussels, prepared with position papers. That should all remain secret, she urged, until the conclusion. ...
Protocol 36 dealt with an addition to the Lisbon Treaty, the last major reform of the European agreements. Therein is the hodgepodge of special rules, one of which concerns the British. They had agreed on an opt-out of the entire interior affairs and justice policy. At home, that could be sold as defending British sovereignty. However, for two thirds of the approximately fifty laws concerned, London voted directly to opt back in, having just opted out – in its own interest. No one wanted to draw attention to it. And this is how May now imagined the future relations of the entire Union: officially a hard severance, but in reality, on the basis of self-interest, still together.
Juncker saw himself confronted with a choice: either keep quiet and, if possible, sustain May’s illusions, or counter them. He chose the latter. “The more I hear, the more sceptical I become,” said the head of the Commission. The dinner was half over." |

Hammond, Javid, Hunt, Truss - and many more - also wanted to remain in the EU.
And now they hollowly argue/negotiate for the opposite¡
