Prime Minister Theresa May began a day of meetings with foreign leaders aimed at strengthening the U.K.’s future trade ties as domestic opposition to her Brexit deal mounted. Wright told BBC radio on Saturday that people rejecting May’s deal should compare it to the alternatives, and not an “idealized” vision of Brexit. SurrenderBrexit-supporting Tories have been the most vociferous antagonists of the deal, which they say would turn Britain into a “vassal” state of the EU. Both Abe and Morrison paid tribute to May’s leadership and expressed optimism about future trade ties. The damage-limitation effort was thwarted by the Saudis, who invited a camera crew in to film the two shaking hands.
