The chairman of Britain's Conservative Party urges Parliament to back an unpopular withdrawal agreement as British and European Union officials seek a breakthrough to the Brexit impasse.
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May gives a speech in Grimsby, north east England, Friday March 8, 2019. British lawmakers are due to vote for a second time Tuesday on the deal, which they overwhelmingly rejected in January.
Brandon Lewis on Saturday warned recalcitrant lawmakers, including many in his own party, that if the government’s withdrawal plan is voted down Tuesday it is possible Britain will end up staying in the EU. “Nobody quite knows where we will end up — whether we end up with a hard Brexit with no deal... but there is also a risk with Parliament that we end up with no Brexit at all,” he said.
Prime Minister Theresa May has also warned that a second defeat to her bill could thwart the Brexit process altogether. She has made passage of the bill the centerpiece of her tenure.
