Theresa may ministers ather key brexit meeting

You're referring to a significant event in British politics!

On June 7, 2018, Theresa May, the then-Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, held a key Brexit meeting with her Cabinet to discuss the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. The meeting was held at Chequers, the Prime Minister's country residence in Buckinghamshire, England.

The meeting was significant because it was the first time that the Cabinet had discussed the UK's Brexit strategy in detail since the 2016 EU referendum. The meeting was also notable because it was the first time that the Cabinet had been asked to agree on a unified position on Brexit, which would then be presented to the EU as a basis for negotiations.

The meeting was marked by intense debate and disagreement among the Cabinet members, with some ministers pushing for a harder Brexit and others advocating for a softer approach. The meeting ultimately ended with the Cabinet agreeing on a set of principles for the UK's Brexit strategy, which became known as the "Chequers plan."

The Chequers plan proposed a "common rulebook" for goods and agricultural products, which would align the UK with EU rules in these areas. The plan also proposed a "facilitated customs arrangement" to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland. The plan was intended to provide a framework for the UK's future relationship with the EU, but it was met with skepticism by some Brexit supporters and critics.

The meeting was widely reported in the media, and it marked a significant turning point in the Brexit process. However, the Chequers plan ultimately failed to win the support of the DUP, the Northern Irish party that props up the UK government, and it was rejected by the EU in October 2018.
