NONE of MPs’ eight proposed Brexit options have secured clear backing in a series of votes in the Commons.
The options – which included a customs union with the EU and a referendum on any deal – were supposed to help find a consensus over how to leave the EU.
Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay said the results strengthened ministers’ view their deal was “the best option”.
The results capped a day of drama in which Theresa May promised to stand down as PM if her deal was passed.
The prime minister told a meeting of Tory MPs she would leave office earlier than planned if it guaranteed Parliament’s backing for her withdrawal agreement with the EU.
MPs hoped Wednesday’s unprecedented series of “indicative votes” would help break the parliamentary deadlock over Brexit.
Below is how Thurrock MP Jackie Doyle-Price voted on each proposal.
JDP is wrong on Brexit. The best deal on Europe and the EU is the one we have now, revoke article 50 and let’s get back to the important issues that affect people’s lives.
Well done JDP. How anyone can believe that staying in the corrupt EU is beyond me. It is an un-elected quango that is no more than a dictatorship.
No deal Brexit is now our best option.Our economy will dip and then we will bounce back and that is exactly what the EU doesn’t want in fear of a leave chain reaction. As such the EU will slap us down as much as possible as we are now seeing. LETS GET THIS NO DEAL THROUGH ASAP.
