Plans for Irish border in event of no deal Brexit to be published after vote defeat BrexitVote
Speaking after her Withdrawal Deal was defeated in a House of Commons vote, Theresa May said her Government will publish its plans for a no-deal Brexit on Wednesday.
"There is now a need to intensify planning for a no-deal crash with an imperative to ensure no return to a hard border, protections of our agreements and safeguarding the rights of citizens." "We want a deal but we want a good deal - a deal that will not compromise the constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom," he said.
"The bottom line is that the backstop, aside from scrapping Brexit entirely, is our only insurance policy against a hard border. "Politicians of all shades must put people before politics and economics before ideology to find an agreement that can pass a vote. We need a deal."
