Britain's May tries to break Brexit deadlock with offer of 'new deal'

Prime Minister Theresa May set out a 'new deal' on Tuesday for Britain...

LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May set out a “new deal” on Tuesday for Britain’s departure from the European Union, offering sweeteners to parliament including the chance to vote on whether to hold a second referendum to try to break the impasse over Brexit.

“We have been given a clear instruction by the people we are supposed to represent, so help me find a way to honor that instruction, move our country and our politics and build the better future that all of us want to see.”See more stories Several leading Conservative euroskeptics such as former Brexit minister David Davis and Jacob Rees-Mogg said they would not vote for the bill in early June.

She may be counting on the fact that parliament - which would have to back any new referendum - has so far opposed any second public vote and also that a “temporary” customs union might just be weak enough for some in her party to accept.
