British MPs will vote on various options for leaving the European Union (EU) on Wednesday, a process that looks to have jolted opponents to Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal to switch sides ahead of a likely meaningful vote by the end of this week.
The indicative votes are widely expected to point towards a preference in parliament for a softer Brexit or second referendum. Hardline members of May’s Conservative Party have been holding out against her deal, but are even more strongly opposed to such alternatives.
