British MP's to vote on delaying Brexit

Available for over a year

British MPs will vote on Thursday on delaying Brexit after they rejected the idea of leaving the EU without a deal. In a night of high drama in the Commons, MPs surprised the government and voted by 312 to 308 to reject a no-deal Brexit under any circumstances. However, no-deal remains the default legal position.
