European Parliament Holds Session on Brexit Following Vote in London

The European Parliament is holding a plenary session in Brussels in order to address Brexit following yesterday’s vote in the UK’s House of Commons on amendments to the withdrawal plan.
MEPs are gathering in Brussels a day after the British Parliament adopted changes to the Brexit procedure. MPs in London have urged the government to rule out leaving the European Union without a deal, also stating that the Northern Irish backstop should be replaced with alternative arrangements.
