May is reported to be considering pulling a second vote on her Brexit deal as she faces the prospect of another huge and humiliating defeat.
The prime minister had assured MPs they would be given another “meaningful vote” by tomorrow at the latest, but may have to abandon the plan amid “deadlock” in negotiations with the EU
Downing Street said the PM’s focus was “getting on with the work required to allow MPs to support the deal and to bring this stage of the process to an end”.
The UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March but MPs rejected the withdrawal deal on offer in January and demanded major changes.
What could happen this week?
* Theresa May’s deal is expected to face a “meaningful vote” in Parliament on Tuesday
* If it’s rejected, a further vote has been promised for Wednesday on whether the UK should leave without a deal
* If that no-deal option is rejected, MPs could get a vote on Thursday on whether to request a delay to Brexit from the EU.
