May is expected to set a date for her resignation at the meeting scheduled for Wednesday, reports say
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May listen as oppositin leader Jeremy Corbyn speaks in the House of Commons in London on March 25, 2019.British Prime Minister Theresa May will address her Conservative lawmakers on Wednesday, possibly to announce a resignation date in a last throw of the dice to win support for her twice-rejected Brexit deal in parliament.
May could try to bring her deal back to parliament on Thursday for a third vote on Britain’s biggest trade and foreign policy shift for more than 40 years. “I think it becomes the choice, eventually. But whether we are there yet is another matter … Leaving the European Union, even leaving it inadequately and having work to do afterwards, is better than not leaving at all.”Rees-Mogg has previously said her deal would leave Britain a “slave state” but he has gradually softened his opposition.
Possible options to be considered include May’s deal, a no-deal Brexit, another referendum, revoking the Article 50 divorce process, a free-trade agreement with a customs union, and staying in the EU’s single market.The government insisted the deal May agreed with the EU in November after more than two years of negotiation remained the only way forward for taking Britain out of the bloc.
