(MENAFN) British Prime Minister Theresa May is withdrawing a parliamentary vote set for Tuesday on her Brexit deal, after constant warnings from lawmakers that the scale of the expected defeat could sink her government, according to Reuters.
May assembled a conference call with senior ministers on Monday to discuss what do with her compromise deal that allowed the United Kingdom to exit while staying in the EU"s orbit.
While there was no official word on the vote, two sources told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg that the vote was being pulled. A Financial Times reporter said an official close to the cabinet had also confirmed the vote would be pulled.
May and her ministers had repeatedly insisted the vote would proceed as planned.
