British Parliament to vote Tuesday on Theresa May’s new Brexit plan, but the tweaked deal faces strong opposition

By William Booth and William Booth London bureau chief Email Bio Follow Karla Adam Karla Adam London correspondent covering the United Kingdom Email Bio Follow March 12 at 8:46 AM LONDON — In an 11th-hour round of negotiations, Prime Minister Theresa May managed to wrestle new legal language from European Union leaders to sell her unpopular Brexit deal to a skeptical Parliament in a landmark vote on Tuesday.

In a letter to lawmakers published Tuesday morning, Cox wrote that May’s tweaked deal does “reduce the risk that the United Kingdom could be indefinitely and involuntarily detained within the protocol’s provisions,” but he warned that “the legal risk remains unchanged.” Cox said Britain would have “no internationally lawful means of exiting the protocol’s arrangements, save by agreement” with the Europeans.

Steve Baker, a prominent Brexiteer, told the BBC that it was “very good gloss” on something that “falls short” of expectations. E.U. leaders on Monday offered fresh pledges that they would seek all possible ways to avoid invoking the politically toxic plan. They wanted to give May a fig leaf, allowing her to say she had received concessions and win over wavering British lawmakers ahead of Tuesday’s vote. But the assurances were framed as the E.U.’s final offer.

Anti-Brexit lawmakers hope that if Britain’s departure is delayed, momentum will build for a second referendum — a do-over — to ask voters whether they really want to leave.

His last ditch offer was rejected as unacceptable more than a year ago. The commission does not want a deal - it would nullify its anti-US superstate folly. The euronationalist loons in Brussels do not care what harm they do to member states, their ambition trumps all. Britain might not be impressed, but NI wants that deal. It looks like this Brexit Deal was not well enough cooked for UK tastes. Time to put it back on the grill and charcoal it a bit more.
