Theresa May is preparing to make a last-ditch plea to the EU to grant concessions and make changes to her Brexit deal.
Theresa May will plea with the European Union to make significant changes to the Brexit deal.Speaking in Grimsby, the prime minister will say that"the decisions that the European Union makes over the next few days will have a big impact on the outcome of the vote."
The prime minister will attempt to put pressure on the EU, by claiming that decisions made by negotiators in Brussels in the next few days will have a significant impact on the outcome of the Brexit vote in Westminster next week. May will deliver her warning to EU leaders in a region where around 70% of people voted to for Brexit in 2016.
The UK is demanding legally-binding changes to the backstop, an insurance mechanism designed to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland, which is widely opposed by Tory MPs who say it could keep the UK indefinitely trapped within the EU customs union.
