Theresa May to address Parliament one week out from key Brexit vote
CNNCNN — UK Prime Minister Theresa May will attempt to drum up parliamentary support for her beleaguered Brexit bill later Tuesday, as lawmakers prepare to vote on whether she broke the rules over publishing the full legal advice on her plan. May is expected to tell lawmakers that her deal – agreed last month with European leaders but opposed by large swaths of opposition parties and even her own Conservatives – “delivers for our country.” But her speech has been delayed because lawmakers are holding a debate about whether she or her ministers should be held in contempt of parliament for ignoring a vote to publish the legal advice on her deal in full. pic.twitter.com/iy2YpXTaJ8 — Keir Starmer December 3, 2018 On Monday, DUP lawmakers joined with opposition parties in submitting an emergency motion accusing the government of holding Parliament in contempt after it ignored a vote obliging it to publish legal advice it sought on the Brexit deal. Failing that, the left-wing party has pledged to campaign for a second referendum or so-called “People’s Vote” on Brexit, something May appears to warn against in her remarks due to be made on Tuesday. “In the referendum of 2016, the biggest democratic exercise in our history, the British public withdrew that consent.” May will tell lawmakers that the British people “want us to get on with a deal that honors the referendum and allows us to come together again as a country, whichever way we voted.” This echoes comments made by her environment secretary, and key Brexit campaigner, Michael Gove, on Sunday, in which he claimed a second Brexit vote would see voters choose to leave in even greater numbers, a view not necessarily supported by the latest polling.
