On December 10, UK Prime Minister Theresa May addressed the House of Commons after the canceling the parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal, a day before it was scheduled to take place.
The Prime Minister said that the decision was bamde because she feared she would lose it “by a significant margin.” May faced laughter from Labour benches when she said that, over three days of debate, she had “listened very carefully to what has been said in this Chamber and out of it by members from all sides.”
It’s important to note that May refused to commit to a specific deadline date for the vote, instead insisting that it will only be held once “assurances have been achieved.” However, she said that the British government is committed to withdraw from the European Union on March 29.
Jeremy Corbyn responded by saying that her deal was bad for the UK and asked what was the point of May bringing back the “same deal” to MPs at a later date.
