After days of threats and pleading, May to continue negotiations on Brexit

Theresa May is threatening to give up trying to get Brexit done any time soon unless euroskeptics in her Conservative party back down and promise to vote for her deal this week.

The British prime minister is still working to win support for her divorce agreement but she won’t bother putting it to another vote in Parliament as planned on Tuesday unless there is a strong chance it will be approved, ministers said. 

Instead, May will head to a summit of European Union leaders on Thursday to seek a lengthy extension to the Brexit process, potentially taking talks back to “square one.”
