British MPs have yet again failed to agree an alternative to Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit plan, prolonging the political deadlock over leaving the EU. 9News
May's spokesman, James Slack, said the prime minister understood that "business wants certainty," and urged MPs to support May's thrice-rejected Brexit deal.

The divisions within May's government over what to do next have left many Britons exasperated — including Conservative Party lawmakers.
