Theresa May secures cabinet nod to Brexit deal

London - Addressing the press, May said the draft withdrawal agreement was the best that could have been negotiated.

British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday the cabinet has agreed on a draft Brexit deal with the European Union after an "impassioned" and marathon debate.
Addressing the press, May said the draft withdrawal agreement was the best that could have been negotiated. "The collective decision of the cabinet was that the government should support the draft withdrawal agreement," she said.
"I firmly believe with my head and my heart that this is a decision that is in the best interests of the entire United Kingdom," she said.
"The decision protects jobs and the union. This is a decision that will come under intense scrutiny, but the decision was to build a future for our country or to go back to square one and fail on the promise of the referendum."
May said she will make a statement in parliament today.
