The UK parliament is battling to take control of Brexit after prime minister Theresa May's Brexit deal was defeated by MPs.
Theresa May's Brexit deal was defeated by a historic margin for a second time on Tuesday.
The first vote on leaving the EU without a deal will be held on Wednesday with the vote on delaying Brexit held on Thursday. The group, assembled earlier this year, is made up of both Leave and Remain-voting MPs — including former ministers Nicky Morgan, Damian Green and Steve Baker — who have come up with their own plan for delivering Brexit.as they tabled an amendment calling for the prime minister to make"Plan B" of their plan her official Brexit policy.
Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, tweeted on Tuesday night:"Listening to debate in the House of Commons, there seems to be a dangerous illusion that the UK can benefit from a transition in the absence of the WA [Withdrawal Agreement.]" The MPs behind the amendment — Spelman, Dromey, plus senior MPs Oliver Letwin, Hilary Benn, Nick Boles, and Yvette Cooper — are frustrated by the wording of the prime minister's motion, which warns MPs that a no-deal is still on the table if they fail to agree to the prime minister's deal. Basically, they want to kill a no-deal Brexit.
These"indicative votes" would be on options which will likely include a Norway-style"soft" Brexit in which the UK would stay in the single market, and a Brexit new referendum.
