Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | UK Parliament rejects 8 Brexit options, agrees to delay withdrawal until at least April British MPs have voted against eight Brexit options introduced on Wednesday night, rejecting the opposition’s plan and ‘soft’ Brexit scenarios. It comes after they agreed to delay the divorce until at least April. In a series of indicative votes, MPs voted down eight separate Brexit proposals, ranging from an extreme no-deal option to the so-called Norway+ scenario, one of the softest version of what has turned into a bitter separation between the EU and UK. Before the vote on Brexit options, MPs agreed to shift the date when the UK leaves the EU to at least until April 22. It can be further delayed up to 22 May if the Brexit deal negotiated by PM Theresa May and the EU continues to fail with the MPs. Speaking after the results of the indicative votes were revealed, Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay again urged the MPs to reconsider their steadfast opposition to the deal negotiated by the May government, calling it the best option left on the table.

Her comments come as MPs struggle to find a consensus on the next steps in the Brexit process. Speaking at First Minister's Questions at Holyrood, she says: "This whole process, thanks to the Tories, is now such a mess that stopping Brexit altogether must be our top priority. "And moreover that is now possible. "The highest number of votes cast in the House of Commons (on Wednesday) was for the People's Vote option." |
