LONDON ― British Parliament on Wednesday voted to reject a no-deal Brexit, inflicting yet another humiliating defeat on Theresa May. MPs are now expected to vote on Thursday to ask the EU for an extension of the Article 50 exit process, which would see the Brexit date pushed back. It comes after the Brexit withdrawal deal she negotiated with the EU suffered its second crushing defeat in the Commons on Tuesday night. Westminster’s attention is now expected to turn to how the UK gets the EU to agree to an Article 50 extension. But the PM herself could seek to see off another potential defeat by offering the so-called “indicative votes”.
