The UK parliament last month roundly rejected a Brexit deal Prime Minister Theresa May had sealed with the remaining 27 EU leaders.MPs are set to vote on Britain’s Brexit options on February 14. In the vote this week lawmakers are set to vote on amendments that could limit May’s options and give parliament a broader say over the Brexit process. May’s Brexit minister Stephen Barkley will meet EU negotiator Michel Barnier on Monday and foreign minister Jeremy Hunt will visit Paris and Warsaw this week. Brexit backers in May’s party think the so-called “backstop” arrangement in the current deal would keep Britain indefinitely tied to EU rules. May’s Northern Irish coalition party also argue that it will splinter their province from mainland Britain.
