FRENCH President Francois Hollande warned Theresa May yesterday to stop dragging her feet over Brexit.

Speaking during a visit to Ireland ahead of a meeting with the Prime Minister in Paris last night, Mr Hollande said Britain should trigger article 50 of the European Union constitution — the exit clause — without delay.

“First we spoke of September, then October and now December,” he said. “There need to be justifications. If it is to delay the negotiation, which itself could take time, I think it would create a damaging uncertainty.”
