UK Parliament passes law forcing Prime Minister Theresa May to seek another Brexit delay and rule out a no-deal departure
After another dramatic day in Westminster, lawmakers voted 313 to 312 in favor of a proposal to mandate the UK government to seek a further extension to the process and rule out leaving the EU without an agreed deal. Two ministers resigned from May's government in protest at her efforts to seek a compromise with the opposition leader, Jeremy Corbyn. One of her most senior ministers warned that a long extension to the Brexit process would be required.
"Why is a Conservative prime minister, who repeatedly told us that no deal is better than a bad deal, now approaching Labour MPs to blockade WTO Brexit when most Conservative MPs want us to leave the European Union with a clean break in nine days time," Conservative MP Julian Lewis asked.Another Conservative lawmaker, Lee Rowley, described Corbyn as"the biggest threat to our standing in the world, our defense and to our economy.
