by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#473XF)
Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal was crushed Tuesday in the biggest defeat for a sitting British government in modern history. After months of build-up, May's plan for withdrawing Britain from the European Union was voted down 432 to 202, fomenting political uncertainty about the future of Britain, as well as May's leadership. On Wednesday, Parliament will vote on a no-confidence motion in May's government. We speak with Paul Mason, New Statesman contributing writer, author and filmmaker. His latest piece for the New Statesman is titled "To avoid a disastrous failure, Labour must now have the courage to fight for Remain."
