British MPs scramble for alternative Brexit plan.
Out of options and at risk of losing control of the process of leaving the European Union, May dramatically announced she would quit if her MPs finally backed her withdrawal agreement.
MPs have twice rejected May's Brexit deal, both times by large majorities, but she is still trying to convince them -- and on Wednesday made what is expected to be her final offer. May agreed a deal with the EU last week to delay Brexit amid fears Britain was heading for a potentially catastrophic"no deal" exit on Friday.
But a group of Conservatives reported to call themselves"The Spartans" is still holding out -- as is the Democratic Unionist Party, the Northern Irish party which props up May's government.
