London and Brussels are preparing themselves for the most important vote on Brexit since the 2016 referendum on EU membership, as U.K. lawmakers decide whether to accept the Brexit deal struck by Prime Minister Theresa May and the EU.
MPs didn't like the fact that the Irish backstop, although intended as a last-resort, would mean the U.K. remaining within a EU customs union for an indefinite amount of time and unable to leave unilaterally. The government's chief legal adviser Attorney General Geoffrey Cox is expected to give his legal judgment on the backstop changes later Tuesday morning and this could be crucial to whether the assurances May received on Monday are enough to give wavering MPs the confidence to give May's deal gets the green light.
Nicky Morgan, a Conservative MP in the Remain camp, told CNBC Tuesday morning that it's not yet possible to tell if May has enough support for the deal from within the party but said she would be supporting the Brexit deal when she votes this evening. A prominent member of the ERG and the leader of the DUP said in a joint opinion piece in the Sunday Telegraph that defeat for May was"inevitable" and predicted a"three-figure majority" against the deal but that was before assurances over the backstop. In January, the deal was voted down by a huge margin, with 432 against it and 202 approving it.
"I don't think this has even ticked all the boxes for the prime minister. She certainly didn't look like someone who had been triumphant," he told CNBC's Steve Sedgwick."We will look at the details of the text and we will listen to the attorney general but what we have been looking for in all of this are legally binding changes that make sure that the U.K. government has control over any backstop and that the U.K.
