One of the themes of Theresa May’s resignation speech was the need to find a compromise on Brexit.

But her own record as prime minister suggests that she only took this message on board when it was too late.

In her first party conference speech in October 2016, she promised to end the free movement of people from the EU, end the role of the European Court of Justice in the UK, and take the country out of the single market and the customs union; all while maintaining frictionless trade with the EU.

She also triggered Article 50 negotiations on Brexit, under pressure from her own party, before any consensus had been found on what the UK really wanted. “No deal is better than a bad deal” became her mantra.

Only after more than a year of difficult negotiations did the idea of compromise come to the fore. But by then the political divisions surrounding Brexit had become entrenched, partly as a result of the prime minister’s own policy choices.

When Theresa May became prime minister in July 2016 she identified seven burning injustices.

To help the discussion of why two London clubs need to go 4,000km (2,500 miles) to Azerbaijan to play against each other, when they are both less than 15km from Wembley, the Reality Check team has been looking into the carbon footprint of those journeys.

Assuming 12,000 fans use economy class return flights, we've tried one carbon calculator, external that says it's 5,595 tonnes of CO2, one that says, external it's 8,280 tonnes and one that says, external it's 13,094 tonnes - 15,600 if you include radiative forcing, which is the extra emissions from flying at high altitude.

If you look at the highest estimate (because you know some people will travel without tickets to the game, not everyone will fly economy class, and you also have to transport the teams and club staff) according to the US Environmental Protection Agency,, externalthat's the amount of emissions you'd get from the energy needs of an average home for 1,868 years or running 3,300 cars for a year. To save that amount you'd have to switch 600,000 incandescent light bulbs to LEDs.
