UK lawmakers overwhelmingly reject May’s Brexit deal
1 min read
In a major rejection, British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit withdrawal deal was voted down by lawmakers in the House of Commons.
MPs rejected the agreement by 391 votes to 242 — a majority of 149.
It’s the second time her deal has failed.
The coming days will be unpredictable, as British lawmakers vote on whether to crash out of the European Union without a deal, or to delay the divorce process.
May had hoped that changes to her deal agreed with the EU at the last minute on Monday night would get her deal across the line, but many lawmakers remained reluctant to back it.
