Rejecting second or indicative vote, UK's PM presses on with divorce deal

British Prime Minister Theresa May is seeking the "extra assurances" needed to get parliament's backing for her deal to leave the European Union, her spokesman said on Monday, ruling out a second referendum or an indicative vote on Brexit options.

May is facing deadlock in the deeply divided parliament over her Brexit deal and was forced to delay a vote last week. That has increased the calls for her to pursue different strategies, including a second referendum or by testing the various Brexit options in parliamentary votes.
