British MPs vote for bigger role in Brexit process.
British MPs voted on Monday to play a bigger role in Brexit, giving themselves the power to express their preference for different options in an unprecedented move that the government called"dangerous".
But the Brexit ministry said in a statement it was"disappointed" by the vote, adding that it"upends the balance between our democratic institutions and sets a dangerous, unpredictable precedent". "The government will continue to call for realism -- any options considered must be deliverable in negotiations with the EU," the Brexit ministry said.
Opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the government was a"national embarrassment", adding:"We will still face the prospect of a disastrous no-deal Brexit."
