BREAKING British MPs have failed to reach an alternative Brexit deal again, rejecting all eight options for divorcing from the European Union
Conservative MP James Cartlidge, who was at the closed-door meeting, told reporters as he walked out that Ms May had said she would step down before the"next phase" of Brexit negotiations.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the deal was"so bad that the PM has to promise to resign to get it through", adding that Ms May's promise would"make an already bad project even worse". Her promise to leave the EU's institutions and end free movement of workers delighted eurosceptic MPs, but caused dismay among many pro-Europeans.
Naturally reserved and reliant on her husband Philip and a few close aides, the PM says she is just quietly"getting on with the job".
