May speaking now

Theresa May says further clarifications from the EU on the backstop are "in fact possible," reports suggesting earlier today were wrong.

More comments:

  • I believe it is better to leave with a deal

  • Very clear from EU they want to ensure this deal gets over the line

  • "This is the clearest statement we've had yet" from EU on the backstop

  • "Throughout all of this I've been clear there's a job to be done here, delivering the vote of the British people in the referendum. It's our job as a govt and parliament. It's never going to be easy."
