I'm not saying they should share what plans they have just to prove that they have them... I'm just sceptical that they are really much further on than they were the day after the vote, and the fact that it would be bad to "show their hand early" is more convenient than anything else because it means that they don't have to admit just how difficult (i.e. potentially impossible) it will be to cleanly separate from the EU.
