Pressure is mounting for British Prime Minister Theresa May, who has told MPs there is insufficient support for a third meaningful vote on her Brexit deal.
With the original deadline of March 29 fast approaching, the Prime Minister needs to bring her EU divorce deal back for another vote. The EU has agreed to extend the cut-off date for the deal until May 22, but only if MPs vote the bill through. If Ms May's bill is rejected for the third time, Britain could be forced to leave the EU without a deal.
