May says further clarifications on backstop "in fact possible"

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."
