LEGAL ADVICE BLOW TO MAY'S BREXIT DEAL

UK MPs will vote later on a Brexit deal, after 'changes' were won by British negotiators.

Theresa May's government says these are 'legally binding' and provide reassurance Britain can't be trapped in the controversial Irish border backstop.

But her Attorney General's published legal advice which suggests the UK could still find itself tied to EU rules indefinitely if the bloc didn't agree to it leaving.

UK correspondent Olly Barratt says that makes it likely Mrs May's deal will be voted down later.
