British Prime Minister Theresa May has reportedly come up with a third different attempt to define the country's customs relationship with the European Union when the United Kingdom leaves the trading bloc.
The BBC reported that no details of the plan have been made public yet but it will be discussed by senior Cabinet members later this week as the prime minister tries to end a long-running rift in the Conservative Party.
Two previous versions have already been rejected, with Environment Secretary and leading Brexit supporter Michael Gove physically tearing up a previous proposal document because he was reportedly "livid" that the paper did not recognize his objections sufficiently.
