British MPs have rejected leaving the European Union without a deal, paving the way for a vote to delay Brexit to seek a way out of Britain's worst political crisis in generations. British MPs have rejected leaving the European Union without a deal, paving the way for a vote to delay Brexit to seek a way out of Britain's worst political crisis in generations. The House of Commons voted 312 to 308 - a majority of four - in favour of a cross-party amendment rejecting a no-deal Brexit. Despite the MPs’ vote to reject a no-deal Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May told the House of Commons that it remains the default option if no deal was reached. Sarah Newton has resigned as a minister at the Department for Work and Pensions over the Brexit vote, a DWP source said.
