No UK ministers will be resigning over Brexit backstop -BBC

LONDON, June 7 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May will not face any ministerial resignations over disagreements over a failsafe policy to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland (Other OTC: IRLD - news) , the BBC's political editor said on Thursday.

"Senior (Other OTC: SNIRF - news) source tells me there will be 'more clarity' on the time limit on the backstop - and will still be published today - but 'nobody will be resigning from the govt today,'" Laura Kuenssberg said on Twitter (Frankfurt: A1W6XZ - news) .

Senior members of the British government will try on Thursday to agree a "backstop" plan for the Irish border when Britain leaves the EU following reports that Brexit minister David Davis opposes the current proposal because it lacks a time limit.
