UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt warns that campaigners to stop Brexit are now almost two thirds of the way to succeeding.
The Foreign Secretary says that if Theresa May's deal is defeated then the country could be heading for a second referendum.Hunt's intervention comes as aides to the prime minister discuss forcing her out in order to win support for her deal.
Speaking on the Andrew Marr show, Hunt said"there is wind in the sails of those trying to prevent Brexit," adding that there was now a real"possibility that we end up losing Brexit... in the next couple of weeks." If defeated, May has committed to holding a vote on delaying Britain's exit from the EU beyond the current March 29 deadline, leading to renewed hopes from Remain campaigners that Brexit could be prevented."Kill this deal, get an extension and then have a second referendum.
He added:"There is a risk and a possibility that we end up losing Brexit if we get the votes wrong in the next couple of weeks."
