“Brexit means Brexit” – or maybe it doesn’t after all.
Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May has repeated her slogan many times, insisting that Britain will leave the European Union on March 29.

The leaders of all EU countries now need to decide whether that can happen.
Despite the biggest vote defeat in British parliamentary history, May says she will try one more time next week to persuade MPs to back her withdrawal deal.
