It's just a quote from what Theresa May herself said. I don't think it is significant that the Mail repeated it. However, Theresa May has actually ruled out the no Brexit option.

Er, no it's not! If Parliament votes down the deal with the EU, she doesn't actually need to put anything else to the vote. Article 50 has already been triggered and we will simply arrive in our brave new world at the end of March 2019.

TM has said many times now that we are leaving the EU. I don't know why you and others continue to clutch at straws like this.

It may be that we can get a change in the wording about the backstop, so that the UK can trigger a mechanism to bring it to an end, with the understanding that this may have consequences (eg no trade deal). But if anyone seriously thinks that the EUNwill give any further concessions beyond this, they are mistaken. Theresa May has negotiated the best deal possible and the EU will not give us any more.
