UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s office said UK Prime Minister Theresa May and European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker held phone conversation at Sunday night. But talks remained “deadlocked” and thus, there is no plan for May to travel to Brussels again today. Cabinet minister Andrea Leadsom, urged fellow Tories to support May’s deal. And, that would mean “that we can move on” while leaving open the possibility to “potentially amend how we do this.”
Some Conservative MPs are reported to ask May to pull the Brexit meaningful vote on Tuesday, because it’s rather meaningless to hold a vote that will certainly be defeated. But there were also talks that May is planning to push for a vote on a “hypothetical” deal on Tuesday. It could be with a certain Irish backstop arrangement with Attorney General Geoffrey Cox’ input. Then EU could be forced to concede should there be a Commons majority.
