LONDON - British Prime Minister Theresa May warned lawmakers on Sunday not to block Brexit, after the High Court ruled that she cannot start the process of leaving the European Union without parliament's approval. In a statement published ahead of a trade mission to India, May cautioned members of parliament against using the ruling to undermine the result of the June referendum. MPs and peers who regret the referendum result need to accept what the people decided," she said. "Now we need to turn our minds to how we get the best outcome for our country," the prime minister said. The High Court ruled that the government does not have the power to trigger Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty, which would set off a two-year countdown to leaving the bloc, without the prior approval of parliament.
