May said she’ll hold emergency talks with EU to discuss possible changes to the backstop. And, she pledges that changes to the backstop would ensure it’s not permanent.

    The second Brexit referendum, May warned that “this risks dividing the country again when as a House we should be striving to bring it back together”. And she added that ” if you want to stay part of the customs union, be honest that this this involves accepting free movement.” Or, “if you want to leave with no deal, be honest that this will cause significant damage in those parts of the county that can least afford it.”
