A cross-party group of U.K. parliament members is seeking to stop Prime Minister Theresa May from carrying out a so-called hard Brexit on fears businesses will end up paying high tariffs on goods sold in the European Union, the Observer reported, without citing anyone.
Lawmakers from the Labour, Liberal Democrats and Green parties, and even some in May’s own party, are in talks ahead of a Supreme Court verdict on Tuesday on whether parliament needs to vote to trigger Brexit, the newspaper said. If the court rules a vote is required, the MPs will seek legislation to block May’s proposed strategy for Brexit, the newspaper said.
