Britain’s parliament has rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal to quit the European Union for a second time
The prime minister, hoarse after Monday’s late-night talks, told MPs: “Let me be clear. Voting against leaving without a deal and for an extension does not solve the problems we face.”She said parliament was now at an impasse: “Does it wish to revoke Article 50 ? Does it want to hold a second referendum? Or does it want to leave with a deal, but not this deal?”
The European Union said the risk of a damaging no-deal Brexit has “increased significantly” but there would be no more negotiations with London on the divorce terms.

However, parliament is expected firmly to reject a “no-deal” Brexit as well, so MPs would then vote again on Thursday - on whether government should request a delay to the leaving date to allow further talks. This raised the possibility that it might ask to push the exit date past late May, when Britain would have to participate in European Parliament elections - a prospect that both sides have been keen to avoid.
