Theresa May today told MPs in the Commons to vote for her Brexit deal or "go back to square one".

Addressing MPs after her deal was approved by EU leaders at a special Brexit summit, the Prime Minister stressed that "there is no better deal available" and repeated that it would lead to a "brighter future for Britain".

"Our duty is to examine this deal, debate it respectfully, listen to our constituents and decide what is in the national interest," she said.

Mrs May told MPs that rejecting her deal when they vote on it later in December would take Britain "back to square one with all the risks that will entail".
