Brexit: The Moment of Truth. March 12, 2019 Vote


Listen Later

Theresa May, the British Prime Minister is set for a second humiliating defeat when she brings her deal back to the House of Commons, this coming Tuesday. To preempt this result, she held a speech in the town of Grimsby, a town that had voted largely for Brexit, almost three years ago. 


She’s urged the MPs to support her deal and put an end to the frustration endured by the British people the past two years and asked the EU to give some last-minute concessions to help the MPs take that step.


Michel Barnier, the EU chief negotiator, couldn’t have been more disparaging.
