UK PM May's Brexit deal has been rejected by MPs for second time with 391 votes against 242 in favour throwing withdrawal strategy into further confusion
EU leaders warned there would be no more changes or negotiations, and with less than three weeks to go until the UK is due to leave, British lawmakers now face a stark choice between leaving the EU without an agreement to smooth the way, or delaying the country's withdrawal past the scheduled March 29 departure date.
"The impasse can only be solved in the UK. Our 'no-deal' preparations are now more important than ever before."Hard-core Brexit supporters in May's Conservative Party and the prime minister's allies in Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party both said they could not support the deal, which Parliament rejected by an overwhelming margin in January.
