BREXIT - British Prime Minister Theresa May loses crucial vote on EU divorce deal Friday March 29,2019

Theresa May's Brexit deal defeated for third time

British MPs have rejected the government's Brexitdivorce deal, handing Prime Minister Theresa May a fresh defeat in her battle to steer the UK out of the European Union.

MPs voted by 344 to 286 on Friday March 29,2019 against the withdrawal agreement, a stripped-down version of the twice-defeated deal that May agreed with the EU.

The result means that the UK is now set to leave the bloc on April 12 without a deal, unless the government negotiates an extension to the country's departure date with EU
