United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister Theresa May’s European Union (UN) withdrawal deal has been rejected by MPs for a second time, throwing her Brexit strategy into further confusion, reported BBC. MPs voted down her deal by 391 to 242 – a smaller defeat than when they rejected it in January. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the prime minister should now call a general election. She had earlier warned MPs that if they did not back her “improved deal” they risked “no Brexit at all”. Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party, which keeps her government in power, voted against the deal, along with Brexiteer Conservative backbenchers.
