LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May called on the European Union to evolve its position in response to her new plan which has outlined a blueprint for the UK’s post-Brexit relationship with the bloc.

“It is now for the EU to respond, not simply to fall back on previous positions which have already been proven unworkable but to evolve their position in kind,” May said in a speech in Belfast on Friday.
