Brexit deal can only be passed with Labour’s support: Minister

UK Prime Minister Theresa May will only be able to pass her Brexit divorce deal with the help of opposition Labour lawmakers because eurosceptics in her party are opposed to the agreement, according to health minister Matt Hancock

May held talks with opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday on how to break the Brexit impasse, enraging some lawmakers in her own party.

“Delivering the prime minister’s deal on Conservative votes has been tried and has not succeeded, the prime minister has done everything she possible can to get that deal through, and so the only option left open to her is to seek Labour votes,” Hancock told BBC radio.
