Defiant May claims Brexit still '˜on course' despite defeat
Theresa May has insisted that she remains 'on course to deliver on Brexit' despite her humiliating defeat in the House of Commons.
Arriving at a European Council summit in Brussels last night, the Prime Minister said her flagship EU (Withdrawal) Bill was making “good progress” despite Wednesday’s setback, which she said was the Government’s only defeat in 36 votes on the legislation.
Leaders of the other 27 EU states are expected to give the green light to the start of the second phase of Brexit talks in Mrs May’s absence today, the second day of the two-day summit.
