In Britain, lawmakers failed to agree on any of four proposed options for Brexit Monday, leaving the country with still no plan in place 10 days away from its scheduled departure from the EU. The measures included a second referendum and a proposed common customs union with Europe, which lost by a mere three votes. This is leader of the opposition Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn speaking after Monday’s votes.
Jeremy Corbyn: “I suggest that possibly the House should have a chance to consider again the options that we had before us today in a debate on Wednesday, so that the House can succeed where the prime minister has failed in presenting a credible economic relationship with Europe for the future that prevents us crashing out with no deal.”
Prime Minister Theresa May is discussing the next steps today during a Cabinet meeting, which could include attempting to get a longer Brexit extension from the EU, or possibly even another vote on her plan. The plan May negotiated with European leaders has already been rejected three times.
