PM May focused on getting her Brexit deal through parliament - spokesman

Amidst renewed calls for her resignation, British Prime Minister Theresa May is focused on the task at hand of getting her Brexit deal through parliament, her political spokesman said on Wednesday.

May has appealed to lawmakers to support her deal to leave the European Union by voting in favour of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, legislation to enact Britain's divorce, in the week beginning June 3. But dozens of her Conservatives, the Labour Party and others have said they will not back it. Asked about the resignation calls, her spokesman said: "The PM is focused on the job in hand, and what the last 24 hours or so have proved, it is a big one."
