Britain gears up for Brexit vote

462

An MP from Britain’s opposition Labour party, Hilary Benn, is withdrawing his House of Commons amendment to reject Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit agreement with the European Union. British MPs are preparing to vote today on whether to back May’s deal. The so-called ‘meaningful vote’ will take place tonight, as five days of debate on Brexit comes to an end.
