Gina Miller, analyst, on what next for UK after Brexit vote

(16 Jan 2019) British Prime Minister Theresa May faces a no-confidence vote later on Wednesday, a day after members of parliament rejected her Brexit deal by an historic margin. May is battling to save her job after staking her political reputation on a last-ditch effort to win support for the divorce agreement she negotiated with the European Union. Though defeat was widely expected, the scale of Tuesday's defeat - 432-202 - was devastating for May's leadership. Immediately after the vote, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tabled a no-confidence motion, saying it would give parliament a chance to give its verdict on the government's handling of the Brexit negotiations. Still, most analysts predict May will survive because her Conservative Party and the Democratic Unionist Party, which supports it, are expected to vote against the motion. Transparancy campaigner Gina Miller won a High Court case after the Brexit referendum that meant the government could not trigger the UK's exit from the EU without approval from parliament. Talking about the events of Tuesday evening, she said it was getting very unlikely that the UK would leave the EU on the agreed date of 29 March, as time was running out for May to come up with a new Brexit bill to be approved by parliament by then.
