Theresa May has arrived at the EU summit in Brussels. And she insisted that, despite last night’s Commons defeat, the government was still “on course to deliver on Brexit”.
Asked about the vote, she said:I’m disappointed with the amendment. But actually the EU withdrawal bill is making good progress through the House of Commons and we are on course to deliver on Brexit ...
We’ve actually had 36 votes on the EU withdrawal bill and we’ve won 35 of those votes, with an average majority of 22. So the bill is making good progress, we’re on course to deliver Brexit, we’re on course to deliver on the vote of the British people.
