The changes to Mrs May's deal fall short of what Brexit hardliners want. It is set to be defeated again
AFTER WINNING a few last-minute changes to her Brexit deal in a dramatic dash to Strasbourg last night, Theresa May faces another series of difficult votes in Parliament. The votes will begin this evening with a second go at getting MPs to approve the draft exit deal that they rejected by the huge majority of 230 votes in January.Since then government ministers, including Geoffrey Cox, the attorney-general, have been trying to amend the deal to make it more palatable to Parliament.
The changes fall short of what many Brexit hardliners wanted.
Much will depend on the margin of defeat tonight. If it is well below 100, there will be hope that a few more weeks of debate, and further pressure on Brexit-backing MPs who are fretful that delay could frustrate their goal altogether, may allow Mrs May to get the deal through on a third or fourth attempt. But if the defeat is another heavy one, there will be doubts about her ability to get anything at all through Parliament.
