Theresa May wins support to renegotiate Brexit backstop, but EU says no | Sky News AustraliaTheresa May has hailed a 'mandate' given to her by MPs to renegotiate her Brexit deal, despite admitting 'it will not be easy' in the face of the EU's repeated refusal to reopen talks.\n\nThe prime minister enjoyed rare success in the House of Commons on Tuesday night, as MPs held a series of votes on how she should proceed with Brexit.\n\nAfter her withdrawal agreement was overwhelmingly rejected by the Commons earlier this month, Mrs May had been forced to return to MPs to set out her next steps.\n\nShe was boosted on Tuesday night when a majority of MPs gave their support for her withdrawal agreement, but on the condition the controversial Northern Ireland backstop is replaced by 'alternative arrangements'.\n\nAn amendment to the prime minister's motion tabled by Tory Brexiteer Sir Graham Brady, calling for the replacement of the backstop, was passed by 317 votes to 301.\n\nA spokesperson for European Council president Donald Tusk said: 'The withdrawal agreement is not open for renegotiation.'\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Am I wrong or did she just vote against her own deal, then claim a victory? Go for it U.K. Nothing will be sweeter than regaining your independence and freedom.

They fire their figarutive shotguns repeatedly into their own feet, reload & shoot again. Trouble is it's also everbody else's feet too.

EU stands firm against May's bid to rewrite Brexit and Irish backstop dealEuropean leaders have refused to accept Theresa Mays green light from the UK parliament to rewrite Brexit, saying the deal is not open for renegotiation. Australia doesn’t have a euro deal.......go it alone. They are so deluded. Someone needs to explain to Brexit that when you quit your job, you're not going to get your wages anymore, and if you don't apply for the dole, you're not going to get that either.
