London Mayor Sadiq Khan called on Britain's parliament Friday to reject Prime Minister Theresa May's divorce deal with the European Union and negotiate a new one with better terms.
Khan told AFP ahead of parliament's third vote on May's twice-rejected Withdrawal Agreement with the other 27 EU nations that uncertainty associated with a Brexit extension was better than May's way forward.
"My message to MPs from all parties is to vote against this deal," Khan said after meeting a group of EU nationals at a university in east London.
"I appreciate that may lead to a bit more uncertainty, but I'd rather have a short period of uncertainty with a good future."
"MPs get not just one say, but a second say and now a third say, yet the British public are not allowed a final say on whether we accept the deal negotiated by the government with the option of staying in the European Union."
"I think we can all agree that Brexit has been a complete and utter mess."
