Brexit set for delay after May wounded by rejection of 'no-deal'

After a day of high drama, lawmakers defied the government by voting 321 to 278 in favor of a motion that ruled out a potentially disorderly "no-deal" Brexit under any circumstances. It went further than the government's position of keeping the threat of a "no-deal" Brexit on the negotiating table -- a stance many in her party said was essential to push Brussels to make further concessions to the deal they have rejected. While the approved motion has no legal force and ultimately may not prevent a no-deal exit, it carries considerable political force, especially as it passed thanks to a rebellion by members of May's own Conservative Party and her cabinet.
