LONDON - Brexit could be reversed if lawmakers reject the government’s exit deal, British foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Sunday after two major eurosceptic factions in parliament warned that Prime Minister Theresa May was facing a heavy defeat.
If she fails, lawmakers are expected to force May to seek a delay to Brexit which some fear could see the 2016 decision to leave the bloc reversed. Others argue that without a delay Britain faces an economic shock if it leaves without a deal. The ultimate outcome remains unclear, though most diplomats and investors say Brexit will define the United Kingdom’s prosperity for generations to come.
Nigel Dodds, deputy leader of the Democratic Unionist Party which props up May’s minority government, and Steve Baker, a leading figure in the large eurosceptic faction of her Conservative party, warned “the political situation is grim”. But, May’s attempts to get the clause rewritten have so far failed to yield any result, with EU negotiators unwilling to meet her demands, and Britain rejecting a compromise offer.
“In the event of this vote on Tuesday not going through, nobody knows what would happen. In everything that followed there would be total uncertainty - that would be the only certainty,” health minister Matt Hancock told Sky News.

May offers tiny plaster for gaping Brexit woundThe UK government promised 1.6 bln pounds to help poor English towns. It looks like a ploy by PM Theresa May to get her EU withdrawal deal through parliament. But it pales next to aid from Brussels and the investment lost since the country voted to leave Europe.
