British Prime Minister wants to win the public in the battle of the Brexit agreement

British Prime Minister Theresa May met with the public on Friday to defend her agreement on Brexit while she was fighting to save the deal and her own political future.

May made a rare appearance on the radio during a telephone conversation during which she had to face a call for resignation after a tumultuous Thursday in which ministers resigned and members of her own party have plotted to oust him.

"I really believe it's the best deal for Britain," May said of the EU's proposed withdrawal agreement, adding that she was "very sorry that ministers, including Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, have resigned.

All eyes were on Secretary of the Environment, Michael Gove, the most prominent Brexit activist, remained in May's cabinet, to see if he was going to follow others through the door.

But a source close to Gove, representing the vote to drop the vote in the 2016 referendum on Britain's accession to the European Union, said the minister would stay at his post "to ensure the best possible results for the country".

Many media reported that Gove had been offered the position of Secretary of Brexit.

May told LBC radio that she had a "very good conversation" with Gove and would appoint a new Brexit official "in a day or two".

"I do not want one of my colleagues in the cabinet who did a good job in the cabinet feel the need to resign," she added.

A correspondent, a local councilor from her conservative center-right party, urged May to "do what is right in the national interest and to withdraw".

She also compared Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to his 1938 appeasement with German Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

"We will not be locked up forever in something we do not want," insisted May.

May could still face a vote of censure from her own deputies.

Conservative legislator Jacob Rees-Mogg, leader of the European research group Brexit (European hard line research group), presented a censorship letter on Thursday.

At least 48 letters from conservative MPs are needed to trigger a no-confidence vote against the party leader. But a majority of the party's 315 legislators should vote against May to be ousted – and if she wins, she can not be challenged for 12 months.

The conservatives are counting on the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland for a slim majority, but the DUP is ready to vote against the deal, fearing it will divide the province from the rest of the UK to prevent a hard land border with the Republic of Ireland.

Asked about the withdrawal of support from her party by DUP leader Arlene Foster, May said, "I have not had any difficult discussions with her about this" and insisted that the general support of the DUP to the government was still intact.
