The British Parliament just rejected the latest version of the Brexit deal. It was a lopsided vote against this deal. The prime minister announced that she will now have the Commons vote on whether or not to have a no-deal Brexit, in other words, the Brits would leave the EU with no agreement in place. If that fails (and it likely will), the PM will hold a vote on whether or not to extend the date for Brexit.
What a mess! The Brits have a choice between the Tories who can't seem to get it together to reach a viable Brexit deal, the Labour Party which has seen its ranks shrink due to major policy divisions and a torrent of hateful bigotry coming from the Labour leadership and some minor parties that have no chance to govern. It's like a choice between releative incompetence and total intolerance.
Fortunately for the PM, she does not have to resign since she just won a vote of no-confidence a few months ago. Even so, Britain now has, at best, a wounded and dying government. The best course would be for the Tories to pick a new leader and to get ready to hold national elections. Prime Minister May seems to be about as popular as Donald Trump would be at the annual Antifa picnic.
