BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday called for her Conservative Party to unite behind her to ensure the government gets a good exit deal from the European Union, insisting that her so-called Chequers plan was the right way forward.

“My message to my party is let’s come together and get the best deal for Britain,” May told the BBC on the first day of the annual Conservative Party conference.
