May drops plan for new Brexit vote before local elections – Financial Times

Early on Friday, Financial Times came out with a news report that confirms previous speculations that the UK Prime Minister Theresa May won’t risk putting her Brexit proposal for a vote in the parliament anytime soon.

The news report said, Theresa May has dropped a plan to try to secure parliamentary approval for her moribund EU withdrawal agreement before next week’s local elections, as hopes fade for any cross-party accord with Labour on Brexit.

The prime minister wants to ask MPs to vote on legislation to approve Britain’s exit from the EU, but the withdrawal agreement bill was not included in next week’s business for the House of Commons because of fears it would face certain defeat, the FT further said.
