Brexit: I am Going to See This Through, Says Theresa May
Theresa May has dismissed speculation she could be ousted as prime minister over her Brexit agreement, saying: "I am going to see this through", - BBC reports.
Despite a series of ministers resigning and talk of a no-confidence vote, she vowed to get the deal signed off in Brussels and to put it to MPs.
"The course I have set out is the right one for our country," she said.
Mrs May spent nearly three hours fielding largely critical questions from MPs before holding a press conference in Downing Street to further answer her critics.
She acknowledged the agreement negotiated with the EU had entailed "difficult and sometimes uncomfortable decisions".
"I understand fully that there are some who are unhappy with those compromises but this deal delivers what people voted for and it is in the national interest," she said.
"We can only secure it, if we unite behind the agreement reached in cabinet yesterday.
"If we do not move forward with that agreement, nobody can know for sure the consequences that will follow.
"It will be to take a path of deep and grave uncertainty when the British people just want us to get on with it. They are looking to the Conservative Party to deliver."
Asked if she would carry on as prime minister if she won a no-confidence vote by a single vote, Mrs May said: "Leadership is about taking the right decisions, not the easy ones."
