U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May will call on opposition lawmakers to help steer Britain out of the European Union as she seeks to reset after her standing was diminished by last month’s disastrous general election.
May, who’s now reliant on the votes of Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionists to get her agenda through Parliament, will restate her political mission to tackle “injustice and vested interests that threaten to hold us back.” Social and economic reform is needed to make a success of Brexit, she will say in a speech on Tuesday, but in a sign of her weakness will call for cross-party co-operation to deliver it.
