Theresa May

Britain's government is not preparing for a second referendum on Brexit, ministers said on Dec. 16, sticking to the script that Prime Minister Theresa May's deal could still pass through parliament with a few changes.

Most of British Prime Minister Theresa May's senior ministers think her Brexit plan is dead and are discussing different options including a second referendum, The Times newspaper reported.

British Prime Minister Theresa May, her counterparts from the other 27 European Union member-states and the presidents of EU institutions have been discussing the "political" aspects of Brexit since Thursday.

EU leaders rebuffed a plea by Theresa May on Thursday to help her sell her Brexit deal to parliament, warning she must set out exactly what she wants -- and announcing they would step up contingency plans in case the deal collapses, reports AFP. 

Britain's weakened Prime Minister Theresa May arrived in Brussels on Thursday to lobby European leaders for help after she survived a parliamentary mutiny that highlighted the deadlock over Brexit, reported Reuters. 

Heads of State and Government of the European Union will meet at the last summit in Brussels for the last time this year.  They will discuss Brexit, the Multiannual Financial Framework, Migration and Counteraction to Disinformation. Prime Minister Boyko Borissov will also take part in the meeting.

 What happens after Theresa May's confidence vote?, The Times asks. 

She may have retained her job and the confidence of her party — for now — but Theresa May faces the same challenge today that she did yesterday: how to secure any kind of Brexit deal with the EU that can gain the support of a majority of MPs.

Bloodied but not yet beaten, Prime Minister Theresa May comes to Brussels for the second time in three days on Dec. 13, battling to save her Brexit deal and her career.

British Prime Minister Theresa May will visit Germany's Angela Merkel on Dec. 11 as she works to salvage her Brexit deal, the day after delaying a parliamentary vote on it to avoid a crushing defeat.

The UK has the legal power to stop Brexit by unilaterally revoking Article 50, the EU's top court has ruled, reported the Independent.

The ruling matches legal advice given to the court last week by its advocate general, who said as a sovereign country Britain could reverse its decision even at this late stage.
