Ms May to make « big offers» while these wishes will actually be wishes she has no means to realise:that U.K. continues after Brexit to continue benefiting from arrest warrant and Europol as if it was still an EU member. Impossible. See Denmark for Europol!
This is part of a good number of other illusions that, while the U.K. will become a third country vis à vis the EU she could continue to benefit from the advantages of an EU member states: buy a cake, eat it, keep it and keep the money!
Impossible while you are not member of institutions and not bound by EU Court of justice
Illusions again for U.K. to remain a « rules maker » and not become a « rule taker » while she will have to follow rules and standards adopted by EU institutions in order to export to EU member states
Illusions again to agree a trade agreement with EU with significant provisions on services and in any case a EU banking passport. FTA not on services. Only EEA includes them (« Norway model »)
Illusions that the U.K. could conclude an FTA with USA before Brexit. USA is the only important trade partner for U.K., but far behind EU and countries linked to EU. USA to be tough and want to know links U.K./eu before negotiate
Illusions that the Irish border issue could be solved without being in customs union and in single market at least for Northern Ireland
Illusions to have a transition period which is vital for the U.K. economy without accepting Full Monty all rules and respecting them as requested logically by the EU
All illusions to be abandoned very quickly to avoid cliff edge this is necessary and urgent to sign article 50 deal containing transition period in October or November in order for both U.K. and EU Parliaments to have meaningful vote on results
