U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May is headed for a showdown with her own governing party in Parliament over the terms of Brexit negotiations, facing calls to retreat at home before opening talks with the European Union.
Critics within May’s Conservative Party want her to give Parliament a say on what happens if Brexit negotiations break down without an agreement, according to Alistair Burt, a former minister. If she refuses, he and others may have no option but to oppose the premier in a key vote on her Brexit trigger law next week, he said.
