In UK, it’s reported that Conservative backbench 1922 Committee rejected a proposal for chance in party rules to allow an early vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Theresa May. However, Committee chairman Graham Brady also requested May to set out a timetable for her departure in the event of a Brexit deal not being passed. This is on top of May’s promise that she would go after the Brexit deal is passed.
Separately, Cabinet Minister David Lidington, said that the government wants to get the thrice-defeated Brexit deal through the parliament before the new European Union parliament opens in July. But the timing will depend on negotiation with the opposition Labour Party. Meanwhile, Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom announced the business for next week. No items regarding Brexit is included.
