Brexit: EU says no to May on renegotiating deal

Theresa May's bid to make her Brexit deal more acceptable to MPs has suffered a blow after EU leaders said it was "not open for renegotiation".

She wanted legal assurances on the Irish backstop and had warned the deal itself was "at risk" over the issue.

But European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said there could be clarifications but no renegotiation.
