TEHRAN, November 18 - British Prime Minister Theresa May says she sees no alternative to the Brexit deal she presented earlier this week.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - “There is no alternative plan on the table. There is no different approach that we could agree with the EU,” May wrote in an article for the Sun on Sunday newspaper.
“If MPs (legislators) reject the deal, they will simply take us back to square one. It would mean more division, more uncertainty and a failure to deliver on the vote of the British people,” she added.
Just hours after announcing on Wednesday that her senior ministers had collectively backed her divorce deal, May was thrust into her premiership’s most perilous crisis when Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab resigned on Thursday to oppose the agreement.
Other mutinous lawmakers in her party have openly spoken of ousting her and said the Brexit deal would not pass parliament.
Brexit supporters say the transitional deal risks leaving Britain subject to EU rules for an indefinite period.
