British opposition to back amendment to stop PM from putting Brexit plan

Britain's opposition Labour Party will support an amendment that seeks to stop Prime Minister Theresa May from putting her twice-defeated Brexit plan up for another vote in parliament, a Labour lawmaker Paul Blomfield said on Thursday.

Lawmakers were due to start voting at 1700 GMT on four amendments to a government proposal that Britain should seek a delay to its departure from the European Union. The proposal itself was due to be put a vote after the amendments.
