(20 Nov 2018) UK Prime Minister Theresa May's cabinet arrived to 10 Downing Street on Tuesday morning for a weekly meeting. This is the first cabinet meeting since two ministers quit over her EU withdrawal agreement last week. Theresa May's parliamentary allies are warning they could remove support from her minority government if she does not alter her Brexit deal with the European Union. Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party struck a deal last year to back May's Conservatives on major legislation. But the Protestant, pro-U.K. party opposes the Brexit deal's plans for keeping the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland open after Brexit. In a warning to May, DUP lawmakers abstained late Monday during several votes on finance bill, and voted against the government on one amendment. May's deal with the EU on how Britain leaves the EU has been met with widespread opposition within the British parliament, raising the prospect that it might be voted down. If it votes against it, Britain could crash out of the EU without a deal.
