Brexit

The U.K. prime minister beat back a mutiny within her own Conservative Party on Wednesday. Still, prospects remain cloudy for her draft Brexit agreement with the European Union.

A day after the prime minister delayed a critical vote on her Brexit deal, May has hit the road in search of assurances from European leaders — while political turmoil churns back home.

"If we held the vote tomorrow, the deal would be rejected by a significant margin," the U.K. prime minister admitted, hours after a European Union court ruled the U.K. can still back out of Brexit.

The British musician is on a tour of Europe, apologizing for Brexit, the plan by Britain's government to leave the EU. The last performance is scheduled for the same day leaders are gathering to finalize a potential Brexit deal.

After more than a year of negotiations, Prime Minister Theresa May presented a Brexit withdrawal agreement that seemed to unite British politicians across the spectrum in their hatred for it.

Prime Minister Theresa May is taking flak from across the ideological spectrum amid a series of resignations. Some are demanding a no-confidence vote; others are demanding an entirely new referendum.

U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said Wednesday that her closest ministers are behind the agreement. Still, that has done little to sway skeptical lawmakers from either end of the ideological spectrum.

Negotiators for the U.K. and the European Union have a draft agreement laying out how the U.K. will leave the EU next March, but the agreement still needs to be ratified by both parties.

The British prime minister's office confirmed the deal Tuesday without offering details. But that did not silence Theresa May's critics at home, many of whom have already expressed opposition.

EU leaders have called off a planned November summit on the next phase of Brexit discussions because of a lack of progress.

"We need much time, much more time and we continue to work in the next weeks," EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said. This was supposed to be the day leaders would unveil a draft trade deal.

The U.K. prime minister broke out her distinctive dance moves before a speech Wednesday. But those shimmies projected a confidence in her Brexit proposals that many in her own party don't share.
