LONDON - British Prime Minister Theresa May was holding crisis talks with colleagues on Sunday in an effort to breathe life into her twice-defeated Brexit deal after reports that her cabinet was plotting to topple her.
With May humiliated and weakened, ministers publicly downplayed any immediate threat to her leadership, insisting that she is still in control and the best option is for parliament to ratify her Brexit divorce deal. “I don’t think that I have any wish to take over from the PM; I think is doing a fantastic job,” Lidington told reporters outside his house.
Hammond said the best way forward would be for parliament to back May’s deal, and if lawmakers did not, they should then try to find a way to end the deadlock. Some lawmakers have asked May to name her departure date as the price for supporting her deal, though it was unclear when a third vote might take place.
