The prime minister is convinced that poor local election results are a message from voters to get on with delivering Brexit.
Theresa May has issued yet another Brexit rallying cry in a bid to convince MPs to push a deal through parliament.for the Conservatives and Labour - which she and Jeremy Corbyn claimed were a message from voters to get on with taking Britain out of the EU - the prime minister said the Commons needed to act with"fresh urgency" to end the impasse.
Writing in the Mail On Sunday, Mrs May said she understood why some Tory colleagues were"uncomfortable" with her decision to hold cross-party talks to try and secure a deal, but urged them to support her efforts.She said:"I negotiated with the EU what I believe is a very good deal for the UK - a deal which allows us to genuinely take back control of our money and our laws. The free movement of people will end - giving us control of our own borders for the first time in decades.
"However, I could not persuade enough of my colleagues to vote for the withdrawal agreement and, regrettably, I have to accept there is no sign of that position changing.
She continued:"We will keep negotiating, and keep trying to find a way through. Because the real thing that matters now is delivering Brexit and moving on to all the other issues people care about.
