British Prime Minister Theresa May will tell lawmakers on Monday they face a stark choice – either back the Brexit deal that has been negotiated with the European Union (EU) or reject it and take Britain “back to square one” with “more division and more uncertainty”, according to Reuters.
Key quotes according to excerpts of PM May’s statement
This has been a long and complex negotiation. It has required give and take on both sides. That is the nature of a negotiation. And I can say to the House (of Commons) with absolute certainty that there is not a better deal available…
There is a choice which MPs will have to make… back the deal and allow Britain to “move on” or reject this deal and go back to square one… It would open the door to more division and more uncertainty, with all the risks that will entail.
I believe our national interest is clear. The British people want us to get on with a deal that honors the referendum and allows us to come together again as a country whichever way we voted. This is that deal. A deal that delivers for the British people.
