U.K.’s May hits narrowing road for help rescuing Brexit deal

-

BRUSSELS — Prime Minister Theresa May said she found “a shared determinat­ion” among some European leaders Tuesday to persuade the British Parliament to accept a proposed Brexit deal, but her continenta­l counterpar­ts insisted any room for revisions was small.

So many British lawmakers oppose the deal that May postponed a vote instead of seeing it rejected.

While EU officials ruled out renegotiat­ing the divorce, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said “room enough” might exist for “clarificat­ions and further interpreta­tions” to be made at a summit Thursday.

Some pro-Brexit members of May’s’ Conservati­ves said Tuesday they had the 48 letters from party lawmakers needed to trigger a no-confidence vote in their leader.
