The prime minister was forced to come to the Commons after her Brexit deal was comprehensively rejected by MPs last week by a record 230 votes to present her new plan for leaving the European Union.
Her "neutral" motion will be debated and voted on - along with any amendments tabled by MPs - on 29 January but has been widely criticised for being extremely similar to her initial plan.
Ms May vowed again to seek changes to the Irish border backstop – despite the EU repeatedly insisting it will not budge.
Business leaders united to criticise the statement describing it as “another bleak day”, as it appeared the UK was now one step closer to crashing out of the EU with no agreement on 29 March.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn urged her to drop her "red lines" to win support from parliament, amid pressure for her to seek changes to the controversial Irish backstop part of her Brexit deal.

Labour former minister Yvette Cooper has published a bill that would give MPs a vote to prevent a no-deal Brexit scenario.
It gives Theresa May until 26 Feb to get her deal through. If she fails, Parliament will be able to direct next steps.
A spokesman for Ms Cooper said: "If the Government fails, then Parliament would be given a vote on Article 50 extension to prevent no deal.
"The Bill ensures that the Government would have to give Parliament a binding vote on whether and for how long to seek an extension to Article 50 if there is no deal, mandating the Government to implement whatever Parliament decides.
"It gives Parliament the opportunity to vote on or amend a nine-month extension."
Labour MP Peter Kyle hit out at Ms May's refusal to consider a second referendum earlier and said there is "only a very small minority of very, very right-wing people" trying to "undermine" social cohesion in order to prevent such a vote.
He added: "When did the Tory party start running away from fascists rather than standing up to them?"
Labour's Hilary Benn has tabled an amendment to the Government motion calling for a range of indicative votes on various Brexit options.
He tweeted: "Just tabled an amendment for next week's Brexit debate calling for the House of Commons to hold a series of indicative votes on a way forward."
