'Plan B is no deal', Varadkar warns MPs voting on Brexit deal

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has warned MPs the only "plan B" to the Brexit agreement is a crash out no deal, insisting it would be a "mistake" if anyone votes against the plan due to an assumption another offer will be made.

Mr Varadkar outlined the reality as he said a new Brexit delay to push the deal over the line could still happen and sought to reassure unionists by saying regardless of what happens the "pound is still the pound, the queen is still the queen".
