May appeals to other parties for ideas

Political Editor

There was a touch of defiance, as she inisisted that her beliefs remained unchanged despite the election result – and humility, as she appealed to other parties to bring forward their own ideas. But in the Commons, there was a touch of bravado, as the Foreign Secretary said the EU could “go whistle” for its “extortionate” Brexit bill.
