She says she won’t publish them so as not to weaken her negotiating
position. But she opposed Brexit before she became Prime Minister, and
is likely to be dragging her feet and trying to keep it from happening.
Theresa May is the enemy of freedom who banned me from the UK for
opposing jihad; it would be no surprise if she was working against the
best interests of the British people here again.

“UK PM May faces parliamentary rebellion over refusal to publish Brexit plans,” by Kylie MacLellan, Reuters, December 6, 2016 (thanks to Van):

LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Theresa May
faces a rebellion among her own lawmakers when parliament debates
whether the government should set out its Brexit plan before triggering
formal divorce talks with the European Union.

May, who plans to kick off the exit process by the end of March next
year, has said the government will not give a running commentary on its
preparations for Brexit as this would damage its negotiating position.

The opposition Labour Party has put forward a motion, to be debated
on Wednesday, calling on the government to publish its plan for leaving
the bloc before it invokes Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty to begin
the formal Brexit process.

The BBC reported that one former minister had predicted between 20
and 40 lawmakers from May’s ruling Conservatives could support the
motion, which is not binding on the government but would increase
pressure on it to be more open.

“These things are incredibly important. This actually transcends
party politics and tribalism. There is nothing in it which I don’t agree
with,” remain-backing Conservative lawmaker Anna Soubry told BBC Radio,
referring to the motion.

“The contents of that motion are eminently supportable.”

While asking May to commit to publishing the government’s Brexit
plan, the motion also says there should be “no disclosure of material
that could be reasonably judged to damage the UK in any negotiations to
depart from the European Union”.

“This is a real opportunity to finally get clarity on the
government’s plan for Brexit,” Labour Party Brexit spokesman Keir
Starmer, who put forward the motion, said in a statement.

“Parliament and the public need to know the basic terms the
government is seeking to achieve from Brexit. This issue is too
important to be left mired in uncertainty any longer.”…
