Responding to the Prime Minister's statement in Parliament this afternoon, Best for Britain supporter Rupa Huq MP said:
"The fact the Prime Minister has been compelled to come to Parliament to explain herself today and the fact MPs only got a meaningful vote at all is because of backbench actions. It's all part of a wider pattern of ignoring others of which these aborted cross-party talks are latest example.
"It's insulting to hear the Prime Minister claiming she wants to listen to MPs when she's acting like a medieval monarch."
