Theresa May is urging EU leaders to help her sell the Brexit deal to mutinous MPs today. The Prime Minister held talks with Irish PM Leo Varadkar in Brussels before a crucial summit formally kicks off. Mrs May has admitted she must get 'legally binding' concessions from the bloc in the wake of the extraordinary Tory coup attempt yesterday which saw more than a third of her own MPs vote against her. But the EU has already flatly dismissed the prospect of renegotiating the Withdrawal Agreement. And the hopes of any imminent progress receded further today as Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom confirmed that the crunch Brexit vote in parliament will not happen before Christmas. After scraping through a Tory no-confidence vote last night, an exhausted-looking Mrs May was given an encouraging farewell by husband Philip as she set off from Downing Street. As well as Mr Varadkar, she will meet EU council president Donald Tusk among others, as frantic efforts continue to find a breakthrough that can satisfy Parliament. Cabinet ministers have warned they will kill off her fledgling deal unless there are 'legally binding' guarantees that the UK cannot get stuck in the Irish border backstop. The PM will lay out her problem to the heads of the 27 member states over dinner this evening, hoping that they can help.
