The Conservative Party yesterday announced Prime Minister Theresa May would establish nine trade commissioners in different regions of the world to promote exports and drive trade policy overseas post-Brexit. In a statement, the Party said, “They will be based overseas in nine different regions, determined by markets rather than national borders, to ensure UK trade policy is guided by local experience and expertise.” The Party also announced the creation of a new “Board of Trade,” which would bring together leading business figures and politicians to help lead overseas trade delegations.
Meanwhile, a Survation poll for ITV published yesterday shows the Conservatives’ lead against Labour has narrowed to one percentage point, with the parties polling at 41.5% and 40.4% respectively. The polling was conducted before last weekend’s attack in London. Last week Survation showed the Conservatives ahead by six points.
Separately, according to Reuters, EU leaders are hoping Prime Minister Theresa May is re-elected on June 8 with a bigger majority. A senior EU official is quoted as saying, “We need a government strong enough to negotiate. We need a stable partner.” Reuters states that EU Brexit negotiators fear that if May was to obtain a similar majority to what she has now, this would make her susceptible to pressure from MPs’ in her own party to reject the Brexit deal.

Opinionsmätningarna går mellan ledning för May och tories mellan 6-1 procent. Ser inte så bra ut och ger inte den tyngd och det mandat som May har räknat med i Brexit förhandlingarna.Två dagar kvar...
