May expected to make statement to MPs on the latest developments on BREXIT

The PM is due to make a statement to MPs, ahead of a debate on Thursday on the next steps for Brexit.

She visited Dublin and Brussels last week seeking changes to the backstop – the “insurance” policy to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland.

The EU has reiterated it will not renegotiate the withdrawal agreement.

Speaking after a dinner with Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay on Monday night, EU negotiator Michel Barnier said the talks had been “constructive”, but added it was “clear from our side we’re not going to reopen the withdrawal agreement, but we will continue our discussions in the coming days”.

Mr Barclay and Mr Barnier had agreed to further talks “in the coming days”, a statement from the Department for Exiting the European Union said.
