Brexit: Raab 'sidelined' as May takes control of EU negotiations | The Guardian | Theresa May has taken back control of crucial negotiations with Brussels from her new Brexit secretary just hours after the government published its white paper on withdrawing from the European Union. The prime minister announced she would now lead the crunch talks with the EU while Dominic Raab, who was appointed two weeks ago, would be left in charge of domestic preparations, no-deal planning and legislation. The move was swiftly characterised as a "sidelining" of the Brexit secretary by No 10's Europe unit, led by May's chief Brexit adviser, Olly Robbins, with the prime minister also taking officials from his department. In a written statement on the last sitting day of the Commons before the summer recess, May said: "I will lead the negotiations with the European Union, with the secretary of state for Exiting the European Union deputising on my behalf. ... Robbins, appearing alongside Raab at the Commons' Brexit committee, said: "The overall strategy for the conduct of these negotiations, she regards very much as her personal responsibility, now with the secretary of state very close at hand."
