Britain's Labour Party moved Tuesday toward supporting a second referendum on Brexit amid fears the U.K. could crash out of the European Union without a deal next month.
BOILER-PIPE: UK’s main opposition takes step to backing new Brexit vote By LORNE COOK and PAN PYLAS February 25, 2019 British Prime Minister Theresa May speaks during a media conference at the conclusion of an EU-Arab League summit at the Sharm El Sheikh convention center in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, Monday, Feb. 25, 2019.
After lawmakers rejected May’s deal last month, the prime minister has sought to get changes from the EU over a provision for the border between the U.K.’s Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland. The mechanism, known as the backstop, is a safeguard that would keep the U.K. in a customs union with the EU in order to remove the need for checks along the Irish border until a permanent new trading relationship is in place.
