Prime minister Theresa May is drawing up plans for an instant break from key European Union regulations – including some on financial services – after Brexit in a drive to exploit the upside of the divorce, according to senior UK officials.

As part of the government's emerging thinking for the "end state" relationship between Britain and the EU, the officials believe the country should immediately forsake EU rules in certain areas, while staying close in others for longer.
