British MPs will vote today on whether Britain should make a potentially chaotic “no-deal” exit from the European Union (EU) in 16 days’ time, after lawmakers overwhelmingly rejected a draft divorce agreement.
MPs will vote Wednesday on whether Britain should make a potentially chaotic “no-deal” exit from the European Union in 16 days’ time, after lawmakers overwhelmingly rejected a draft divorce agreement.
Some eurosceptics are now pressing to end Britain’s 46-year EU membership with no deal, but May warned this could cause “significant economic shock”. Tariffs would be retained but reduced for some agricultural products such as beef, pork and dairy imports to protect British producers. “Does it wish to revoke Article 50?” she said, referring to the Brexit process. “Does it want to hold a second referendum? Or does it want to leave with a deal but not this deal?”A group of lawmakers will on Wednesday put forward an alternative proposal to delay Brexit until May 22 and strike a series of interim agreements with the EU lasting until 2021.
