May sells Brexit deal in Scotland as live television debate takes shape

The United Kingdom's prime minister, Theresa May, defended and promoted the divorce deal she negotiated with the European Union during a visit to Scotland on Wednesday aimed at winning support ahead of a crucial vote in the House of Commons.

While visiting a factory in Glasgow, she said her deal is the only one on the table and claimed it will protect jobs and offer exporters the chance to find new markets while keeping existing ones.

She wants to win more support from members of Parliament ahead of the vote on Dec 11 that the government currently looks set to lose.
