May: EU and UK a long ways apart on two big issues

May addresses Brexit talks with the EU

  • Will never agree to customs border with Northern Ireland

  • No deal is better than a bad deal

  • UK, EU at an impasse

  • Cannot accept anything that threatens integrity of the union

  • Cannot accept anything that doesn't respect the referendum

  • It's not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposal

  • Now need to hear from the EU what the real issues are

  • We will do everything to avoid a hard border on Ireland

  • Even in a no-deal scenario, EU citizens rights are protected

  • I will not overturn the referendum result

  • Says she has treated the EU "with nothing but respect" and says that she expects the same.

These comments don't exactly inspire confidence in anything. Cable getting rightfully beaten up.
