British Prime Minister Theresa May has said she will be voting for her motion on a no-deal Brexit.
Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn asked how she would vote tonight.
She said: “I will be voting for the motion in my name.”
Mr Corbyn said: “The Prime Minister’s deal has failed, she no longer has the ability to lead, this is a rudderless government in the face of a huge national crisis.”
He added the Commons needs to listen to the country, including workers and EU nationals who are fearful for their futures, saying of Mrs May: “She needs now to show leadership.
“So can the Prime Minister tell us exactly what her plan is now?”
And so will I!!!!
(If the Speaker chooses that amendment).
If the No Deal option is removed by #Remainers, it will tie our negotiators hands behinds their back with razor wire. https://t.co/HnX7umkybj— Michael Fabricant 🇬🇧 (@Mike_Fabricant) March 13, 2019
Mrs May reiterated votes were planned on a no-deal Brexit and extending Article 50, adding: “There will be hard choices for this House but this House will need to determine what its view is on the way forward.”
She said the Government will continue to work to leave the EU with a “good deal”, adding on Mr Corbyn: “He doesn’t agree with Government policy, he doesn’t even agree with Labour Party policy.
“He has nothing to offer this country.”
Mrs May earlier defended her deal in the face of a hostile question from Tory backbencher John Baron.
Mr Baron (Basildon and Billericay) pushed Theresa May to back a no-deal Brexit, saying “no deal is better than a bad deal”.
Mrs May agreed no deal was better than a bad deal but insisted her deal was a good deal.
She said: “I want to leave the EU with a good deal – I believe we have a good deal.”
