Theresa May pleads with MPs to back Brexit deal

THERESA May has pleaded with her MPs to back her Brexit deal so Brits can finally stop arguing about it - after leaders signed it off at a historic summit today.

As Britain moved a step closer to our exit, the Prime Minister insisted it was "time to move on" and her deal was "the only possible deal" that could be secured.

At a press conference this lunchtime after meetings with other leaders she said in a direct pitch to her wavering MPs: "The British people don't want to spend any more time arguing about Brexit.

"This will allow us to come together again as a country."

After 18 months of political wrangling, heads of government were finally ready to sign and seal the deal today.
