BREAKING: Theresa May promises vote on second referendum in bombshell bid to pass Brexit deal
Theresa May today promised MPs a bombshell vote on holding a second referendum in a last-ditch bid to pass her Brexit deal.
That means if MPs vote for a second referendum the government will be forced to legislate for it, Mirror.co.uk reports. But there's a catch - it will only be held if MPs pass the Bill, which contains the Brexit deal. If they reject it, Theresa May is likely to quit within weeks - and the Tories will spiral into a hard-right leadership contest.
Speaking after a three-hour meeting of the Cabinet, she proclaimed a "serious offer to MPs across Parliament - a new Brexit deal."And she admitted: "It has proved even harder than I anticipated."
