A eurosceptic lawmaker in British Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Party said on Monday that he was worried that May could add a customs union to her Brexit deal with the European Union as a way to break the current parliamentary impasse. "My concern is that the prime minister is more concerned to avoid a no-deal Brexit than anything else and therefore I am very concerned that she could decide to go for a customs union tacked on to her deal," Jacob Rees-Mogg said on LBC Radio. "But if that happens people like me will just continue campaigning to get us out of the customs union," he added. Meanwhile, British MPs will attempt to chart a new Brexit path on Monday after rejecting Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal for a third time, leaving her strategy in tatters and the country in limbo. With less than two weeks to go until the day Britain risks crashing out of the European Union, MPs will hold a series of votes to try and find a majority-backed plan to end the current crisis.
