British lawmakers seek to use a vote on government's next steps on Brexit to wrest control of the flailing process and try for an alternative way forward
British Prime Minister Theresa May will on Monday chair a potentially volatile meeting of her cabinet amid reports of an attempted coup by colleagues over her handling of Brexit.
If he does, voting will take place on each selected amendment one by one, before lawmakers vote to give final approval to the wording of the motion. Voting is due to begin at 2200 GMT. The result is read out in parliament. Under a new timetable imposed by European leaders last week, she now has until April 12 to win MPs' backing for the agreement or find a viable alternative which could include a lengthy extension to Brexit.
On Saturday, organisers estimated one million pro-Europeans marched through central London demanding another public vote on leaving the bloc.Following last week's delay to the country's March 29 scheduled departure – which MPs must still vote into law this week – the way forward remains highly unpredictable.It was expected to face another vote this week but the prime minister has told lawmakers signs of "sufficient support" are needed first.
"It's looking very difficult to bring together a majority for it," finance minister Philip Hammond earlier conceded to Sky News.
