Britis­h MPs overwh­elming­ly reject Prime Minist­er Theres­a May’s Brexit deal for second timeLONDON: British MPs overwhelmingly rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal for a second time on Tuesday, pitching Britain into the unknown just 17 days before it is due to split from the European Union. But she also warned eurosceptics, many of whom have campaigned to leave the EU for their whole careers, that if her deal failed, so might Brexit. “If this vote is not passed tonight, if this deal is not passed, then Brexit could be lost,” she said before the vote. UK PM May risks defeat in historic Brexit voteHowever, eurosceptics believe the deal is so bad it is worth the risk of leaving with no plan. After MPs first rejected the 585-page Brexit deal in January, May promised changes to the hated backstop plan which is intended to keep open the border with Ireland.
