May could rush Brexit through parliament

British Prime Minister Theresa May’s officials are planning to rush her Brexit deal through Parliament to stave off a rebellion from her own party, Bloomberg reported yesterday.

May’s team want the final withdrawal agreement ratified by lawmakers within two weeks of signing the terms of the divorce in Brussels, Bloomberg said citing people familiar with the matter. Under that timetable, members of Parliament would vote on whether to accept or reject the divorce treaty by December, sources told Bloomberg.
