DUP's Foster: Cannot agree to a deal that leaves us adrift from the rest of the UK

Comments by DUP chief Arlene Foster

• We will be looking at May's Brexit deal text
• Says we cannot be separated from the rest of the UK
• Regulatory alignment would mean divergence from the rest of the UK

Meanwhile, we're also hearing from DUP's Sammy Wilson and he's saying that May's deal does not have a "release mechanism" with regards to the backstop period. He also claims that they won't be supporting her Brexit deal if that is the case.

The pound is being brought to session lows now as May is fast losing support of parliament members. GBP/USD falls to a low of 1.2955 and EUR/GBP jumps to a high of 0.8711 on the day.
