At a dinner last night, Mrs May said that there would be no second referendum and no delay to the withdrawal date in March.

"No deal and a hard Brexit would be difficult for Europe but it would be terrible for the UK," he said.

"The reason why we as European Union and we as Austrians would like to have a compromise is that we think that it is better for both."
