Brexit uncertainty looms as UK parliament turns down May's deal again

British lawmakers rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's divorce deal for the third time. Lawmakers voted by 344 to 286 to reject the so-called Withdrawal Agreement.

Prime Minister Theresa May puts a stripped-down version of her Brexit divorce deal to a vote in parliament on Friday in an attempt to break the impasse over the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union.

Lawmakers voted on May's 585-page EU Withdrawal Agreement at a special sitting but not on the 26-page Political Declaration for future relations she negotiated at the same time, a manoeuvre which led to confusion among lawmakers.
