Theresa May says Brexit deal defeat could bring "grave uncertainty" for Britain
- 5 years ago
British Prime Minister Theresa May is pushing ahead with Tuesday's crucial parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal, despite growing calls for her to go back to Brussels to a seek a better offer.
The deal looks set to be rejected by MPs, but May warned that such a scenario would risk putting the opposition Labour Party into power, which she said would result in the UK being stuck in the EU.
She told the Mail on Sunday that Britain would be in uncharted waters if the deal was voted down, leading to what she called "grave uncertainty for the nation."
May's Brexit proposal is facing opposition from both sides of the aisle, especially from hard-line Brexiteers from her own Conservative Party, who say it gives too many concessions to the EU.
