UK Prime Minister Theresa May says she will never agree to separate Northern Ireland from the UK. She also rejects the UK staying in the EU Single Market.
She says that it is not acceptable at this stage of the negotiations to only reject proposals and not offer anything.
May finishes her statement by stressing that she will not overturn the referendum results and will not tear up her country.
