Theresa May Loyalists Insist Her Brexit Plan Still Workable Despite Eu Rejection theguardian.com

Cabinet ministers and loyalists to Theresa May are seeking to defend her beleaguered Brexit strategy, insisting her Chequers proposals are still workable even after their rejection by EU leaders at Thursday’s Salzburg summit.

It was up to the EU to “engage with what’s on the table” in the form of the Chequers deal, said the housing secretary, James Brokenshire, as the former minister Stephen Crabb urged May to “stick to her guns”.

“The easy thing for the prime minister to do would be to go with one of those two options that are being proffered,” said Brokenshire, in reference to the touted alternative deals for governing Britain’s post-Brexit relationship.
