MAY TO SET OUT BREXIT 'PLAN B'

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is due to set out her 'Plan B' for Brexit.

She'll address lawmakers later (1530G approx) on next steps, after the Brexit deal she'd agreed with Brussels was rejected by the House of Commons last week.

However, it's understood she hopes to win changes to the controversial Irish border backstop solution - rather than tack towards a softer Brexit.

Britain's due to leave the EU on March 29th, but is currently set to do so without a deal in place.

Conservative MP Bob Stewart says Mrs May is right to focus on winning support by amending the backstop.
