Brexit: Theresa May asks MPs for ‘honourable compromise’

UK Prime Minister Theresa May has asked MPs to make an ‘honourable compromise’ as she seeks to persuade them to back her Brexit deal for the third time.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, the Prime Minister said failure to support the deal would mean that Britain will not leave the EU for many months, if ever.
She said, it would be a potent symbol of Parliament’s collective political failure as a delay in Brexit would force Britain to take part in European elections in May, almost three years after voting to leave the EU.
May further said that the United Kingdom must stand together as democrats and patriots, pragmatically making honourable compromises necessary to heal divisions and move forward.
Theresa May is expected to bring her withdrawal agreement back to the Commons next week for a third vote. It comes after MPs this week rejected her deal and voted to delay Brexit.

The EU will eventually decide the terms and conditions of any extension. Legally, the UK is still due to leave the EU on 29 March.
