Earlier in the day, the House of Commons voted for broadening the mandate of the Parliament in the event that the deal, negotiated by Theresa May’s government, is rejected on 11 December.
The head of the British government stated that it’s Parliament’s duty to deliver Brexit, claiming that the deal would bring a “brighter future” for the UK, provide security cooperation between London and Brussels, and protect jobs in the country.
She also noted that a second referendum on Brexit would worsen the situation, leading only to further disputes.
