May fails to clear up murky plans to replace the Irish backstop
Theresa May arrives for Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons today

THERESA MAY refused to offer any clarity on her plans to make “alternative arrangements” to replace the Irish backstop when asked to explain the proposal by Jeremy Corbyn today.

The “alternative arrangements” were proposed in an amendment to the Withdrawal Agreement tabled by Tory MP Graham Brady.
