Theresa May will convene her cabinet and update parliament on the newly-agreed Brexit deal Monday, as the embattled British prime minister begins the tricky task of selling the plan to a skeptical country. But she faces a big battle to win MPs’ approval ahead of a vote next month, with lawmakers from all parties, including Conservative colleagues, opposed. Its Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer told BBC radio that if parliament rejected the deal, May would either have to re-negotiate or hold a general election. “Choose May’s Brexit or a leap into the abyss”, said the Daily Mail, calling the alternatives “either implausible or deeply unpalatable”. It is a “bad deal” but a second referendum may not yield a different result, it said.
