May to agree departure after latest Brexit deal bid

LONDON – British Prime Minister Theresa May will set out a timetable for her departure in early June after the latest attempt to get her Brexit deal approved by parliament, the chairman of a powerful Conservative committee said on Thursday.

“The prime minister is determined to secure our departure from the European Union,” Graham Brady, chair of the 1922 Committee that can make or break party leaders, said following a meeting between his committee’s executive and May in parliament which he described as a “very frank exchange”. Under current party rules, she cannot be challenged again for a year, but some on Brady’s committee had pushed for those rules to be changed in order to try to force her out earlier if she refused to set out a clear departure date.

Mired in Brexit deadlock and forced to delay Britain’s 29 March exit from the EU, May’s Conservatives suffered major losses in local elections this month and are trailing in opinion polls before 23 May European Parliament elections.
