MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 15th January, 2019) UK Prime Minister Theresa May will try to force the parliament to hold another vote on her Brexit deal despite facing defeat this Tuesday, local media said.
A senior government official told The Sun newspaper that May had a conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel where the latter promised more EU concessions.
But the leaders agreed there should be a "blood-letting moment" first, the source reportedly said.
The alleged concessions include persuading the Irish prime minister to fix an end date for the Irish backstop, a fallback plan to avoid a hard border between the republic and Northern Ireland.
The United Kingdom is set to leave the European Union on March 29. If the terms of its withdrawal are not agreed and no other steps are taken all ties will be cut overnight, meaning a no-deal exit, which May has warned will hurt the nation.
