Conservative MPs have been lining up to warn British prime minister Theresa May she will split her party if she seeks a softer Brexit following votes in the House of Commons on Monday evening. The former Brexit minister Suella Braverman said it would threaten the survival of the party. In the North, the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) Robin Swann has launched a stinging attack on the DUP, accusing the party of positing Brexit positions that swing from leave to remain. He said the DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds and the party’s Brexit spokesman Sammy Wilson were now offering opposing views on Brexit. We need to build a positive trading relationship with the EU for the future, and we need to strengthen Northern Ireland’s position within the United Kingdom.”
