LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s government is not preparing for a second referendum on Brexit, ministers said on Sunday, sticking to the script that Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal could still pass through parliament with a few changes. Brussels said last week it was ready to help but warned her that she could not renegotiate the deal. With May facing deadlock in parliament over the deal and the EU offering little so far, more politicians are talking about the possibility of Britain leaving without an agreement or a second referendum that could stop Brexit from happening. Asked if the government was preparing for a vote, education minister Damian Hinds told Sky News: “No, a second referendum would be divisive. May survived a no confidence vote among her Conservative lawmakers last week, but opposition parties are calling for Labor to propose a parliamentary motion of no confidence against the government this week.
