The UK will cancel Brexit or leave without a deal if MPs don't back the prime minister's plan next month, Liam Fox said on Wednesday.
The UK will either cancel Brexit or leave without a deal if MPs block a key piece of legislation next month.Fox on Wednesday urged MPs to back the Withdrawal Agreement Bill next month or risk"democratically" and"economically damaging" outcomes for the UK.Theresa May is currently set to lose the vote — and potentially lose her job.
"There will be an opportunity for MPs to decide, after the local elections and after the European elections, whether they want to vote for Brexit or not," Fox said. The prime minister, who is widely expected to face another leadership coup in the coming weeks, faces an uphill battle trying to convince the House of Commons majority to back WAB.
