LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Tuesday that she had shown “nothing but respect” during Brexit talks with the European Union, and that Britain deserved the same.

May also said Britain had arrangements in place that would enable it to manage if London and Brussels fail to agree a deal over their divorce, in an interview with LBC radio.
