May tackles Brexit fears

THERESA May desperately tried to convince pro-Brexit ministers she won’t strike a withdrawal deal “at any cost” yesterday.

Leave backers in her top team fear she is poised to agree a pact that may undermine the 2016 referendum result.

Ministers are on standby for an emergency Cabinet meeting in days amid claims a deal is close.

But the PM’s spokesman warned: “There remains a significant amount of work to do.”
