May is battling to win support for a Brexit deal which will define both the UK's departure from the bloc and her future as leader. The critical report by the cross-party Committee on Exiting the European Union, agreed unanimously and published on Sunday, will help lawmakers decide how to vote, said the committee's chairman Hilary Benn. It also said May's deal had avoided making choices about the future relationship with the EU, meaning that negotiations would be needed which would likely go on for "a number of years". The deal did not set out realistic or workable objectives for the future relationship between Britain and the EU, it added. This is not a choice the government has so far been willing to make," the report said.
