UK PM May: Will appoint a Brexit secretary over the coming days

Theresa May comments on LBC radio

• Had a very good conversation with Gove yesterday
• Have been discussing on the fishing industry with Gove
• No comments on whether or not she offered Gove the Brexit secretary role
• Insists that the UK will be leaving the EU in March
• DUP have raised concerns and questions with us
• Still working with the DUP
• We will see if DUP will vote for the deal

There were reports since overnight saying that Gove was offered to replace Raab as Brexit secretary and he turned it down, leading to rumours he may potentially resign. His future will a be one of the key things to look out for in the current saga as it would signal a further loss of support for May.
