Doubts grow about the government’s handling of Brexit negotiations THERESA MAY and several of her cabinet ministers have been on a charm offensive around Europe, trying to sell her Chequers plan for Brexit to doubtful European Union governments. The UK public is losing confidence in the Government’s ability to handle EU , according to a survey by polling organisation ORB International. It said 60% of respondents disapproved of the Government’s handling of the negotiations, the highest level so far and one boosted after UK Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron launched her Chequers proposals. Elsewhere in ORB’s report, 60% of respondents said May would not get the right Brexit deal and 60% said the UK would be economically worse off. The news came as ministers toured Europe trying to persuade other EU members to support the Chequers proposal.
