Brexit Deal Defeat Could Topple UK Government: Theresa May

LONDON: UK Prime Minister Theresa May warned on Sunday if parliament rejects her Brexit deal, it could leave Britain in the European Union and bring the opposition Labour Party to power.

The embattled leader's message came with her government fearing a heavy defeat in Tuesday's parliamentary vote on the draft withdrawal agreement she signed with Brussels last month.

Media reports said May is under pressure from her cabinet to delay the vote and fly to Brussels to secure more concessions ahead of a planned summit with the other 27 EU leaders on Thursday and Friday.

But Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay told the BBC: "The vote is going ahead."

May said Britain "would truly be in uncharted waters" if the text agreed after nearly two years of tortuous negotiations is voted down less than four months before the March 29 Brexit date.

"It would mean grave uncertainty for the nation with a very real risk of no Brexit," she told the Mail on Sunday.

"We have a leader of the opposition who thinks of nothing but attempting to bring about a general election... I believe Jeremy Corbyn getting his hands on power is a risk we cannot afford to take."

“It’s mine. My own. My Brexit”.

Those are the words of actor Andy Serkis, who has reimagined his portrayal of Gollum from Lord of the Rings in a campaign to push for a so-called People’s Vote — a second referendum — and ultimately remain in the European Union.

That’s what you get for not wanting to do anything, sharia May. Screw the people, then get kicked out of office.

That’s just too bad.

Perhaps Parliament has the guts to declare a hard BRexit.

But probably not.

They voted to leave. Leave it. Cut all ties. Negotiate later.

Cameron stalled Brexit. May not only stalled, but is not delivering
what the Brits voted for.
Off with her Muslim loving head.

If the Government falls,rather than just her,it could very well mean that that bearded,unapologetic Maoist,Corbyn,could become Prime Minister.And if *that* happens Brexit goes right down the cr@pper,the public’s will be damned!

Very possibly.And consider this: a year or two ago,during a debate in Parliament,the Labour "Shadow Chancellor" was heard quoting from Mao's Little Red Book.It was an amazing moment! I'll look for the youtube video...MUST SEE TV!

May’s so-called deal allows for literal taxation without representation. I suspect that offends even Labourites.

Same as the GOPe led my Ryan/McConnell and a slew of rebellious exec branch figures. “We’ll openly defy the will of the people then throw the election to those intent on overthrowing and betraying the country.”

May is slimy enough and crooked enough to be a top democrat here in the USA if she ever decided to sneak across the border.

The Soviet Union may have collapsed, but communism's ideals continue to be championed at home and abroad.

The Devil never sleeps.
