The former cabinet minister has hinted the UK could activate Article 50 before Christmas – despite Theresa May repeatedly saying otherwise.
Mr Duncan Smith, who resigned from David Cameron’s cabinet before playing a key role in the Brexit campaign, also said the EU was plagued by problems and member states are eager to have a good relationship with post-Brexit Britain.
He told Pienaar’s Politics on BBC Radio 5 Live he expects Mrs May to begin the two-year process of negotiating the UK’s withdrawal by invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty “if not before Christmas, fairly soon afterwards”.
Mrs May has made clear she does not intend to trigger Article 50 before the end of 2016, with legal challenges over Brexit also set to be heard by the High Court in October.
