[LONDON] British lawmakers crushed Prime Minister Theresa May's European Union divorce deal on Tuesday, thrusting Britain deeper into crisis and forcing parliament to decide within days whether to back a no-deal Brexit or seek a last-minute delay.
Mrs May said the government would not instruct her own party's lawmakers how to vote, as would normally be the case. Andrea Leadsom, who manages government business in parliament, insisted however that"it is still our intention, if at all possible, to leave the EU on March 29 with a good deal". Opposition to Mrs May's deal among members of the Conservative Party derives from a belief that it does not offer the clean break from the European Union that many voted for.
