(26 Nov 2018) UK Prime Minister Theresa May started a frantic two-week race on Monday to convince the British public, and a sceptical parliament, to back the Brexit deal she has struck with the European Union. May gathered her cabinet for a meeting early in the day, hours after returning from Brussels with the divorce agreement approved by the 27 other EU leaders. She plans to address lawmakers in the House of Commons later in the day. The deal needs to be approved by parliament, but scores of legislators - from both the opposition and May's governing Conservative Party - say they will oppose it. May aims to convince them that the deal honours the 2016 referendum that saw Britain vote to leave the EU. Parliament's vote is due before Christmas, likely the week of 10 December.
