What next for the Brexit deal and Theresa May’s Withdrawal agreement?Parliament has voted in favour of scrapping the Irish backstop in a move that Brexiteers hope will put pressure on the EU to offer fresh concessions on the Withdrawal Agreement. It's already rejected by the EU. The Tories will crash us out and it will cause massive damage to the public. It doesn't matter anymore. EU will not change its position in negotiations More than a bit over the top in light of the fact that May scuppered the draft agreement she negotiated.
