GRIMSBY, England - British Prime Minister Theresa May urged the European Union to make “just one more push” to break an impasse on Brexit before she tries to get parliament to back her deal next week.
So far there is little sign of May getting the concessions from Brussels that she says would reverse her previous defeat. London and Brussels are at loggerheads over the so-called Northern Irish backstop, which seeks to prevent the return of physical border controls between Northern Ireland and Ireland - the only land frontier between the United Kingdom and the bloc.
EU diplomats, responding to excerpts of May’s speech released overnight, said she was preparing to blame the bloc for a fresh defeat of her plan. Her top lawyer returned empty-handed from negotiations with the EU this week, and the EU told Britain to rework its Irish backstop proposal by Friday.May also used her speech to warn pro-Brexit Conservative lawmakers that rejecting her plan next week would delay Brexit, possibly pushing Britain into a customs union with the EU, or leading to the reversal of Brexit in another referendum.
