Friday morning in 60 seconds
EU sends May packing
Theresa May cuts an isolated figure. After travelling to Brussels for the second time in three days, she was hoping for a lifeline. The Prime Minister last night pleaded with EU leaders to help rescue her Brexit deal (and, frankly, her career). But she left humiliated, with a rebuke ringing in her ears. As she tried to renegotiate the Northern Ireland backstop (more on that here), she was was accused of having no solutions. In a late-night press conference, Jean-Claude Juncker said it was time for the UK "to say what they want instead of asking us to say what we want". Gordon Rayner explains Mrs May's dilemma. Back home and, after Mrs May survived the confidence vote, Jacob Rees-Mogg and his fellow Brexiteers are planning their next steps. Asa Bennett has looked at their options. Follow all the Brexit fallout here today and, for an extra dose of Friday politics, here's how you can sign up to our daily Front Bench newsletter.
