Er. What now?
The UK’s faltering withdrawal from the European Union descended further into confusion on Wednesday night as MPs voted to reject every alternative Brexit plan in a series of indicative votes, while Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party appeared to kill off Theresa May’s chances of passing her own Brexit deal.she would step down as prime minister
The alternative plan which secured the most votes in favour was a motion calling for a second referendum, which lost by 295 to 268 — ironically, the same 52% to 48% margin as in the 2016 referendum. A cross-party proposal for a Norway-style softer Brexit, dubbed Common Market 2.0, also performed poorly, losing by 283-188.
But Steve Barclay, the Brexit secretary, insisted that the night’s results showed that Parliament had not been able to find a compromise.
