British Parliament overwhelmingly rejects Theresa May’s Brexit deal, diminishing the chance of withdrawal on March 29
By William Booth and William Booth London bureau chief Email Bio Follow Karla Adam Karla Adam London correspondent covering the United Kingdom Email Bio Follow March 12 at 3:22 PM BREAKING NEWS: Three years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, lawmakers have failed to agree on how to do it.
She said this was a good deal for Britain that honored the 2016 Brexit referendum: it took back control of borders, immigration, laws and money — and would allow the country to seek new trade deals around the world, including with the United States. Many lawmakers who support a hard Brexit voted against May’s deal. But others feared that if they didn’t back May now, they could see Brexit lost — first to delay, then to a second referendum.
“She brought back the exact same deal we rejected and expects us to vote for it,” said Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who called May’s new language “a case study in weasel words and obfuscation.”One of the main proponents for Brexit during the 2016 referendum, Nigel Farage, tweeted his reaction to May's new deal: “This is all words and twisted meanings. Nothing has changed. Reject. Reject. Reject.
E.U. leaders on Monday offered fresh pledges that they would seek all possible ways to avoid invoking the politically toxic plan. They wanted to give May a fig leaf, allowing her to say she had received concessions and win over wavering British lawmakers ahead of Tuesday’s vote. But the assurances were framed as the E.U.’s final offer.
Michael Barnier, the E.U.’s chief Brexit negotiator, warned that members of Parliament seemed to be under “a dangerous illusion” that Britain might secure a transition period, and insulate itself from the shock of crashing out, even after rejecting May’s withdrawal agreement. “No withdrawal agreement means no transition,” Barnier tweeted.
