Comments by UK PM spokesman, James Slack

  • Government has looked at options for Irish border, but Chequers is the only option
  • There is a commitment to no hard border and don't believe in moving the border
  • Says that Theresa May would fight any attempt to oust her

Nothing new that we haven't heard of, but this continues the Brexit rhetoric whereby May is heading for a collision course with parliament over the Chequers proposals. She's insisting that's the only way forward while parliament looks likely to shoot it down.

198 days to go. Tick tock, tick tock.
