Brexit: Vote on Theresa May's deal may not happen next week
She acknowledged that"a number of colleagues had raised concerns" about her words and it had not been her intention to make their"difficult job... any more difficult".

Finding an alternative which ministers, MPs and the EU are happy to embrace within the next two weeks will be a very tough task indeed.

Nigel Dodds, deputy leader of the DUP - whose votes Mrs May relies on to support her minority government - said the prime minister had"missed an opportunity" to propose changes to the withdrawal agreement to help get it through the Commons.
