UK prime minister Theresa May confirms Parliament will get to vote between no-deal Brexit and delaying departure from EU. May's deal faces a likely defeat, raising the danger of Britain severing ties with its biggest trade partner on March 29 without a deal and being plunged into economic chaos. May's Brexit deal faced a likely defeat in an historic parliamentary vote Tuesday that risked pitching Britain into the unknown just 17 days before its scheduled split from the European Union. A hoarse-sounding May warned lawmakers in a last attempt to sway them that "Brexit could be lost" if they voted against her and said a no-deal Brexit would deliver a "significant economic shock". Eurosceptics might be persuaded to vote for May's deal if they believe that Brexit may be cancelled altogether.
