UK PM May's spokesman underscores progress in Brexit but with caution

Britain has been making progress in negotiations with the European Union over potential changes to its exit deal but there is still "a lot of hard work" to do, Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said on Thursday.

"It is still very much the position of the European Union that they want the United Kingdom to leave with a deal and that means everyone working together with energy in order to secure the assurances that parliament needs," he added.
