UK PM Defends Brexit Draft Deal at PMQs


UK Prime Minister Theresa May has defended the latest draft outline on a Brexit deal during Prime Ministers Questions.


It comes ahead of a crunch meeting with her cabinet to decide the fate of the agreement she has negotiated with the EU.


The Prime Minster says the draft brings the UK one step closer to delivering Brexit and avoiding a no-deal scenario.


But she is facing resistance from some of her MPs who are concerned about the new proposal.
