May faces Brexit revolt in Parliament

In December, Parliament voted to force May to publish a plan for Brexit before triggering Article 50

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is battling a rebellion from her own lawmakers which threatens to complicate her talks over leaving the European Union.

Emboldened by the Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday to hand Parliament more power over the Brexit process, at least six Conservative legislators are uniting with the main opposition Labour party to demand May publishes an official government document detailing her negotiating goals.

Their aim is to subject May to the greater parliamentary scrutiny and accountability she sought to avoid, ensuring they can better hold her to promises such as her pledge to deliver a sweeping post-Brexit trade deal
