LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May’s top lawyer will try to clinch a Brexit compromise with the European Union this week in a last-ditch bid to win over rebellious British lawmakers before crunch votes that could delay the divorce.
May is hoping to win over enough lawmakers to pass it, by agreeing a legal addendum with the EU on the deal’s most controversial element: a “backstop” to ensure no hard border between EU-member Ireland and British-ruled Northern Ireland. “We’re now at a particularly critical stage in these negotiations,” said the spokesman. He declined to go into any specifics about the kind of legally binding changes Cox was trying to secure.
Labour, which like May’s Conservatives has formally backed exiting the EU in line with the results of a 2016 referendum, shifted its position last week to back a new public vote if May presses on with her deal.
