No-deal Brexit looks likelier than ever after May’s summit humiliation
Brussels, Belgium (CNN)British Prime Minister Theresa May’s efforts to save her faltering Brexit deal floundered Friday, as EU leaders sent her away empty-handed and a leading official described the state of the debate in the United Kingdom as “sometimes nebulous and imprecise.”
After being forced to pull a vote on her deal in the House of Commons, May pleaded with EU leaders to add legal assurances that would assuage lawmakers furious over a crucial element, the so-called Irish backstop.
But after an apparently lackluster presentation by May, EU leaders rejected the demands — all but killing any hope of a parliamentary breakthrough in London — and instead stepped up plans for a no-deal Brexit.
