Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May answers questions in the Parliament in London, Britain on March 27, 2019
"I have heard very clearly the mood of the parliamentary party," May said. "I know there is a desire for a new approach – and new leadership – in the second phase of the Brexit negotiations – and I won't stand in the way of that." "I am prepared to leave this job earlier than I intended in order to do what is right for our country and our party," May told the party meeting, according to extracts released by her office.
May's deal means Britain will leave the EU single market and customs union as well as EU political bodies. Some of the party's most influential dissenters had already indicated they would back her deal, agreed after two years of talks with the EU, saying it was the least worst option.May's deal was defeated in parliament by 149 votes on March 12 and by 230 votes on January 15.
