May plans to ask Parliament to vote next month on a bill implementing Britain’s departure from the European Union. But opposition Labour Party lawmakers dismissed the offer as too little too late, and pro-Brexit Conservatives accused her of capitulating to pro-EU demands. “The prime minister needs to, today, accept that what she announced yesterday isn’t going to work and pull the vote,” Starmer told the BBC. Conservative lawmakers, meanwhile, were due to meet later Wednesday to discuss whether to attempt to topple May as party leader. May has said she will announce a timetable for her departure once Parliament has voted on her Brexit bill.
