The Prime Minister's responses will run in The Yorkshire Post next week.

The Yorkshire Post says: Little sign of Plan B for Brexit if May’s deal failsMrs May has this week been touring all parts of the UK to promote her Brexit deal to voters ahead of the crucial House of Commons vote on December 11.

She has also agreed to take part in a televised Brexit debate two days before the Commons vote.
