Prime Minister Theresa May’s government plans a third vote on Friday on the deal she has agreed to leave the EU, after parliament twice rejected it by large margins.

Andrea Leadsom, Mrs May’s leader in the Commons, parliament’s elected main house, urged lawmakers to back the deal.

The government said the third vote will cover only Britain’s withdrawal agreement, or “divorce settlement,” and not the separate political declaration on future relations with the EU. It said the EU “remains open to negotiating changes to the political declaration” but not the withdrawal agreement. If Britain requests a longer extension, it would have to participate in the EU elections scheduled in late May.

Earlier Thursday, a senior Conservative lawmaker said parliament faces a choice between backing May’s deal or a “slightly softer” Brexit that would keep Britain in a customs union with the EU.
