Brexit Is Back — Again. Here's Why The Next Few Weeks Could Be Pivotal.
After several weeks of Brexit being largely, and some might say mercifully, out of the news, it crashed back onto the agenda on Tuesday in what over-adrenalised Number 10 aides and political journalists have embarrassingly dubbed the “death zone”.
Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers, is meeting May on Tuesday evening to ask her to set out a timetable for her departure, a key demand of MPs who want her out of office sooner rather than later. There is a fair bit of media interest in an extraordinary general meeting of the National Conservative Convention which has been called for June 15, at which Tory members will vote on a motion saying May has to go. While this piles more pressure on the PM, the vote is non-binding and she can ignore it.If May and Corbyn don’t come to a deal this week, the government could press ahead with plans to introduce the Withdrawal Agreement Bill to Parliament anyway.
This is what MPs supporting a People’s Vote believe is their best chance, though it currently looks unlikely that there is a majority in the Commons in favour of a second referendum.
