LONDON: British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday is expected to say she favours a clean break from the European Union, dismissing a "half-in, half-out" Brexit deal with Brussels.
In a highly-anticipated speech, May is likely to give further signals that Britain is heading to what analysts call a "hard" Brexit.
That direction will be cheered by those who want to leave the EU, but dismay those who fear the impact on Britain's economy.
"Not partial membership of the European Union, associate membership of the European Union, or anything that leaves us half-in, half-out," the prime minister is due to say on Tuesday, according to an extract of her speech circulated in advance to the media by Downing Street.
"We do not seek to adopt a model already enjoyed by other countries. We do not seek to hold on to bits of membership as we leave," she will add.
The speech will take place late morning at Lancaster House, a central London mansion that is a showcase for diplomatic functions and major announcements.
It will be dissected for every detail about May's Brexit strategy, after months of uncertainty.
