Assailed from all sides, defiant May vows to see Brexit through

Al Jazeera  

Prime minister defends her draft Brexit deal as several ministers quit amid threat of vote of no-confidence against her. In a press conference on Thursday, a defiant May insisted her proposed agreement on Britain’s departure from the bloc put the the “national interest” first and was the only way to avoid a no-deal Brexit. Al Jazeera’s Paul Brennan, reporting from London, said it was a “bruising session of parliament” for May, adding that there was little hope for her proposed Brexit deal. EU leaders will meet on November 25 to endorse May’s divorce deal, although the British prime minister acknowledged that a number of obstacles remained before Brexit could be finalised. “After two years of bungled negotiations, the government has produced a botched deal that breaches the prime minister’s own red lines and does not meet our six tests,” Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the main opposition Labour party, told parliament.
