LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May told her ministers on Monday that they must hold their nerve in an impasse with the European Union over Brexit, her office said after a cabinet meeting.

May said her plan was the only viable one on the table and that she remained confident of securing a deal with the EU, her office said in a statement.

“At the same time, the government will continue to sensibly plan for no deal,” the statement quoted her as saying.
