Despite the PM making a plea for compromise at a summit in Salzburg, EU council chief Donald Tusk insisted her Chequers plan would undermine the single market. Meanwhile, Mrs May bluntly dismissed the EU commission's latest proposals for resolving the Northern Ireland border issue, saying they would break up the UK. 'The backstop cannot divide the UK into two customs territories,' she told a press conference after the summit. The standoff came as the bloc's leaders warned a Brexit deal is still 'far away' - and urged the UK to hold another referendum. Ramping up the pressure, Dutch PM Mark Rutte jibed that his country had made more preparations for a no-deal outcome than Britain. Meanwhile, Angela Merkel warned that there must be 'substantial progress' by October for there to be any chance of getting an agreement. Over dinner with her 27 counterparts last night, Mrs May ruled out any delay to Britain's departure from the EU in March – insisting there were no circumstances in which she would consider another national vote on the issue. But her fellow leaders - who received the speech in stony silence as they have vowed not to discuss Brexit directly with the UK - were unimpressed.
