Theresa May's speech to warn EU of risk of giving UK a raw Brexit deal

PM is expected to build on chancellor's combative language by highlighting other potentially lucrative deals Britain can seek

Theresa May will aim to strike a defiant tone in her upcoming Brexit speech on the risks to the rest of the EU of giving Britain a raw deal, echoing the combative approach taken by the chancellor.

In a speech by the prime minister on Tuesday that will be watched closely in EU capitals, Downing Street is keen to impress that there are potentially lucrative economic opportunities elsewhere, weeks before the UK is expected to trigger article 50.
