UK Prime Minister Theresa May says vote on EU divorce deal is 'the last opportunity to guarantee Brexit.' The agreement still faces substantial opposition even after she promised to quit if lawmakers approved it and let Britain leave the EU in May.
U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May says voting on her EU divorce deal is “the last opportunity to guarantee Brexit” as she sought to rally support for the measure.
The agreement still faced substantial opposition even after May sacrificed her job for her deal, promising to quit if lawmakers approved the Brexit deal and let Britain leave the EU on May 22.Spain has taken charge of the European Union’s anti-piracy operations off Somalia, which had been led by a United Kingdom set to leave the European bloc.
Demonstrators demanding that Britain leave the European Union held flags, placards and banners. Singing “Bye-Bye EU” the demonstrators demanded that lawmakers implement the results of a June 2016 referendum to leave the European Union. Referring to the lawmakers in the British House of Commons, Barnier said that “what we now need is a positive choice to move forward” and that it was the “personal responsibility” of each member to “choose what they want.”
European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said Friday that “the withdrawal agreement negotiated between both parties is indeed both necessary and sufficient to ensure the orderly withdrawal of the UK.”
