Theresa May slapped down a complaint she only took one question from a female reporter today by declaring 'you've had answers from a woman Prime Minister'.

The Prime Minister took press questions following a Brexit speech in Grimsby.

But as she walked off the platform ITV News' Libby Wiener stood up to shout she had only taken one question from a woman on International Women's Day.

She said: 'Only one question from a woman reporter on International Women's Day - pretty poor show isn't it? Only one question.'

Mrs May answered to applause: 'You've had answers from a woman Prime Minister.'

Mrs May turned back to the room and answered to applause: 'You've had answers from a woman Prime Minister.'

Mrs May had used her speech to say 'let's get it done' as she urged the EU to give 'one more push' to solve the impasse over the border backstop and warning MPs defeating the deal would trigger a 'moment of crisis' on Tuesday night.

She warned those plotting to stop the UK leaving the EU: 'Brexit does not belong to the MPs in Parliament - it belongs to the people of this country'.

Without a huge swing in her favour MailOnline research has revealed that her deal to leave the EU on March 29 will be defeated by almost 100 votes on Tuesday. The following day the Commons is expected to vote to stop Britain leaving without a deal.

In a direct plea to Tory Brexiteers and Labour rebels opposed to her deal the PM said today: 'Back it and the UK will leave the European Union. Reject it and no one knows what will happen.

'We may never leave at all. It would be a moment of crisis'. She added: 'Everybody wants to get it done. Let's get it done'.

Mrs May also used her make-or-break speech to urge Brussels to give negotiations 'one more push' this weekend and get her deal over the line by giving her an end date to the Irish backstop.

The PM is said to be willing to fly to Brussels this weekend and in direct message to the EU's negotiators she said: 'Now is the moment to act. We have worked hard together.

'It needs just one more push to give Parliament what they have asked for'.

She also pointed the finger at Jeremy Corbyn, accusing him of only offering an hour of his time in the past five weeks to find a cross-party solution to the Brexit stalemate at Westminster because he wants a second referendum.
