Here is the section from May’s speech in which she summed up her offer as a 10-point plan.
So our New Brexit Deal makes a ten-point offer to everyone in Parliament who wants to deliver the result of the referendum.
One – the government will seek to conclude alternative arrangements to replace the backstop by December 2020, so that it never needs to be used.
Q: Some of your MPs seem to be opposed to this because it is you asking them to back it. What do you say to those who say you should step aside now?
May says this is not about her. If it were about her, the UK would be leaving, she says.
