UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Saturday that the British parliament could back Prime Minister Theresa May's deal if MPs received assurances from the European Union, but warned that a no deal Brexit was still on the table. "The EU cannot be sure that if they choose not to be helpful and flexible ... that we would not end up with no deal," Hunt said. I don't think the EU could be remotely sure that if we don't find a way through this we wouldn't end up with no deal." "If MPs dig in against the Prime Minister’s deal and then hunker down in their different corners, none with a majority, the country will face serious trouble."
