London — Britain’s plan for leaving the EU has not changed, Prime Minister Theresa May’s spokesman said on Monday, despite a disastrous election gamble that has plunged British politics into chaos days before formal Brexit talks begin. May failed to win a majority in parliament at the election last week, prompting calls for her plan to leave the EU’s single market to be watered down, and for some rival lawmakers to demand that the Brexit process be delayed. "Our position is clearly set out, it is clearly set out in a number of places and there has been no change to that," May’s spokesman said, adding that the Brexit minister, David Davis, had set out the same position earlier on Monday. "Obviously there will be discussions in cabinet but [Davis] also set out very clearly that we have ... our plans and there is no change to those."
