UK Prime Minister Theresa May is going to make a statement on Brexit in the parliament today. According to her office, May is expected to say “the talks are at a crucial stage.” And she’ll urge that “we now all need to hold our nerve to get the changes this House has required and deliver Brexit on time.”
Also, May will say “By getting the changes we need to the backstop; by protecting and enhancing workers’ rights and environmental protections; and by enhancing the role of Parliament in the next phase of negotiations I believe we can reach a deal that this House can support.”
But just yesterday, EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier reiterated that “It’s clear from our side that we are not going to reopen the withdrawal agreement but we will continue our discussion in the coming days.”
