British Prime Minister Theresa May told lawmakers on Thursday that their choice was clear: back her Brexit deal, leave with no deal, or have no Brexit at all.
The British Prime Minister gave a statement in the House of Commons on the proposed draft for Britain's exit of the European Union, saying it had been a frustrating process but that the deal was the best that could be negotiated.
She said the UK would regain control over its borders but business would enjoy a free trade area with the EU. The UK would, however, leave the customs union.
May insisted that she was not in favour of a second referendum and her government would deliver on the people's vote to leave the EU.
The government, however, would continue to prepare for a no-deal Brexit. "We have been preparing for no-deal and we continue to prepare for no-deal because I recognise that we have a futher stage of negotiation with the European council and then that deal when finalised ... has to come back to this House," she told parliament.
May has already faced multiple ministerial resignations following the announcement of the agreement's provisional terms, but she insisted she can now move on to finalising the details of an ambitious future partnership.
The resignations included Dominic Raab, who was responsible for the Brexit negotiations, Brexit minister Esther McVey, Work and Pensions Secretary Shailesh Vara and junior Northern Ireland minister Suella Braverman.
Speaking int he Commons, Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "The withdrawal agreement and the outline political declaration represent a huge and damaging failure ... The government ... is in chaos."
Jon Trickett, member of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's senior team added: "Theresa May has no authority left and is clearly incapable of delivering a Brexit deal that commands even the support of her cabinet, let alone parliament and the people of our country,"
Conservative Eurosceptic Jacob Rees-Mogg said he would deliver a letter of no confidence in the prime minister.
The deputy leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, which props up British Prime Minister Theresa May’s government, accused her of failing to listen and betraying promises about the future of Northern Ireland in any EU divorce deal.
"I could today stand here and take the prime minister through the list, promises and pledges that she made to this House and to us privately about the future of Northern Ireland in the future relationship with the EU," Nigel Dodds said in parliament. "But I fear it would be a waste of time because clearly she doesn't listen."
