Conservative Sir Bill Cash - who backed Leave in the referendum - says the 585 pages are a "testament to broken promises" and "abject capitulation to the EU". The EU "will control our laws" and there will be "serious breaches of ministerial responsibilities" under the draft agreement.

Mrs May says the future relationship with the EU "will not see the European Union controlling our laws" and there will be no European Court of Justice jurisdiction in the UK.

She adds that she recognises his concerns.

Labour MP and Chair of Exiting the EU Committee Hilary Benn - who backed Remain in the referendum - says "the truth is we will be staying within the customs union".

He asks if the prime minister "will look the people in the eye and say remaining in the customs union is in the national economic interest because without it we will be poorer".

Theresa May says "what is in the national interest is securing a good trading partnership with the EU before we have left".

"This is why there is a proposal for frictionless trade," she adds.

"The right honourable gentleman and I disagree, a customs union is not the only way to continue to have a good trading relationship with the EU."

Conservative Remainer Anna Soubry says "nobody, but nobody can doubt the prime minister's commitment" but the "harsh cold truth of it is this is not the promised deal".

The public are "so fed up" because promises "can't be delivered upon". She says there "is no majority for" the deal, a no-deal Brexit would be "irresponsible". She asks for a second vote.

Mrs May says she believes "it is the duty of" MPs to "deliver on the choice that was made by the British people".

The DUP's Westminster Leader Nigel Dodds says "the prime minister clearly doesn't listen" and "the house has been left in a position where the choice is being subject to the rules and laws of others who may not have our interests at heart".

Nigel Dodds says there are two options open for MPs now, "we stand up for the United Kingdom, or we vote for a vassal state with the break up of the United Kingdom", he says.

Theresa May says "the issue of the border in Northern Ireland has been one of the key issues we have addressed" and "we are looking for frictionless trade across borders which will ensure we deliver on our commitment to Northern Ireland and frictionless trade between the UK and the rest of the European Union as well".

"Neither side wish to see the backstop ever being exercised," she adds, "I have remained committed to Northern Ireland and am committed to protecting the integrity of the United Kingdom."

Conservative Brexiteer John Redwood says spending EU budget money on tax cuts would be a "wonderful way to boost the public mood", rather than on "21 months of delay".

Mrs May says the UK "is a country that meets its legal obligations," and "there are legal obligations" that the UK has towards the EU.

Businesswoman and anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller said Theresa May was trying to achieve the impossible, and a new Brexit referendum was vital.

She told the BBC: "I think [May] is doing the best she can because it's an impossible task.

"It's taken them (politicians) two years to get to what many of us already knew. And because of their incompetence I think it's got to go back to the people."

She added: "We are a nation in stress. You've got data showing that even dentists are reporting people are grinding their teeth more than ever before.

"Businesses are not investing, people are sitting on their hands, they're not executing any of their plans to go, to stay, to invest, to grow. We are at a stalemate.

"This chaos that we're in, this limbo, needs to come to an end."

The Leader of the (anti-Brexit) Liberal Democrats, Sir Vince Cable, says "the government is investing considerably in contingency planning for no deal".

He asks if the prime minister will realise "as much as she hates it", that the "People's Vote is a solution".

Theresa May says "we are making no plans for no Brexit because this is going to be the best deal for the British people".

Conservative Iain Duncan Smith says he has "deep deep misgivings" from reading the draft agreement overnight, on the backstop. "We are locking ourselves in" to an arrangement from which we have no "sovereign right to withdraw".

Mrs May say she "fully" accepts that there are concerns "in relation to the backstop", and she adds that she "shares some of these concerns".

"There are pros and cons" on both sides of the argument around a backstop, she states, "there is a mechanism for coming out of the backstop" which requires "mutual consent".

The SNP's Westminster Leader Ian Blackford says "the PM is trying to sell us a deal that is already dead in the water and not even her Brexit secretary could stand over it".

"The Number 10 front door has become a revolving one," he says, "the prime minister talks about taking back control, she can't even control her own cabinet".

Mr Blackford says it is "shocking" that Scotland is not mentioned in the agreement when Northern Ireland receives 100 mentions, "utter contempt has once again been shown to the Scottish government, its Parliament and its people".

He questions that if Northern Ireland can stay in the single market, why Scotland shouldn't be able to as well.

"The prime minister stands in the face of the legitimate demands of the Scottish government and people," he adds, "Show some respect for the devolved institutions."

Mr Blackford says "the price Scotland would be forced to pay is far too high", and calls for Theresa May to go back to Brussels and extend Article 50 as "anything else will lead to economic chaos and crisis".

Theresa May says "Northern Ireland is not staying in the single market and has a very particular set of circumstances" and reminds Mr Blackford that "Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom".

A group of politicians from Northern Ireland have travelled to Dublin to meet with the Taoiseach to discuss the draft Brexit deal.

Sinn Fein's leader for Northern Ireland Michelle O'Neill, SDLP leader Colm Eastwood, The Alliance Party's Stephen Farry and Green Party leader Steven Agnew are all at the joint meeting with Leo Varadkar.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Eastwood said that difficult days lay ahead for Theresa May, but the group's focus was on Northern Ireland.

"We have to make sure the backstop is fully backed, and that's what we're focused on, protecting people across this island," he said.

Ms O'Neill said that the group in Dublin represented the majority of Northern Ireland on a cross-community basis.

"For us, we want to remain in the customs union and the single market and we want protections for the Good Friday Agreement, our message is as consistent today as it was yesterday," she said.

The DUP and Ulster Unionist parties are not in attendance.

Mr Varadkar said he had not spoken to DUP leader Arlene Foster, but added: "The door is always open and the phone is always on."
