(5 Dec 2018) UK Prime Minister Theresa May left 10 Downing Street for the House of Commons on Wednesday where she was expected to face further pressure from members of parliament over her Brexit plan. May is trying to keep her EU divorce deal on track after her government was dealt a double blow by parliament on Tuesday. Legislators found the government in contempt of parliament for refusing to publish legal advice about the agreement, a symbolic defeat that means the advice will now be released. Parliament also forced an amendment to Brexit plans giving lawmakers more say over what happens next if the deal agreed between the government and the EU is defeated. Wednesday is the second of five days of debate before parliament votes on the deal next Tuesday. Strong opposition from all sides suggests the government is headed for defeat - with unknown consequences.
