Last week the European Union agreed to delay the deadline for Britain to leave and this week British lawmakers voted 329 to 302 to take control of the parliamentary timetable from the government.
This is a timetable that is now agreed by all the main political parties and set in stone and I am prepared to work with all the main parties to deliver this during 2015.
There is no need for a precise timetable today, but in my view we should aim to have a new Prime Minister in place by the start of the Conservative party conference in October.
Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he will abandon legislation to implement his proposed Brexit deal and call for a general election if Parliament votes down his timetable.
From now on, our security interests will dictate the length and scope of military operations, not arbitrary benchmarks and timetables set up by politicians.
Now scientifically speaking, winter will officially come to an end on the equinox, on March 20th, regardless of what Phil predicts. But Mother Nature doesn't always follow the timetable and neither does Phil.
