Prime Minister Theresa May has made it her priority ever since she took office. The departure date depends on whether British MPs finally approve May's EU withdrawal agreement, which she considers key to an orderly breakup. A majority of British MPs dislike the 585-page divorce deal the prime minister struck with the EU. The plan, opposed by the prime minister, was brought forward and approved by Tory and Labour backbenchers. This week will be crucial in determining whether Britain leaves the EU soon or takes more time to reconsider its options.
