Britain is now likely to leave the European Union without a deal after lawmakers defeated Theresa May’s European Union withdrawal deal, a leading eurosceptic lawmaker in her Conservative Party said on Monday (21 January), writes Andrew MacAskill.
Jacob Rees-Mogg (pictured), chairman of the European Research Group of anti-EU lawmakers in May’s Conservative party, said the next most likely outcome is the government will secure a revised Brexit deal.
“I think if you were to rank them the most likely is no deal, the second most likely is a redone deal, third is a delay, and fourth a long way behind is not leaving at all,” Rees-Mogg told LBC radio.
