In a clip released to the media, British Prime Minister Theresa May said May said that she had rebuked Donald Tusk, the European council president, for saying yesterday that those who promoted Brexit without a clear plan for how it would be delivered deserved a “special place in hell”.
She said that she and Jean-Claude Juncker, the European commission president, had agreed to resume Brexit talks at official level in an attempt to find a solution to the backstop issue.
Crucially, President Junker and I have agreed that talks will now start to find a way through this, to find a way to get this over the line, and to deliver on the concerns that parliament has, so that we get a majority in parliament.
She added “What I see and hear from leaders is a desire for us to work together to ensure that we can deliver the UK leaving theEuropean Unionwith a deal.
My work is to deliverBrexit, to deliver it on time, and I will be negotiating hard in the coming days to do just that.
