Members of Parliament will vote on Theresa May's revised Brexit deal with the European Union on Tuesday evening.

Theresa May heading for another defeat on her Brexit deal after her Attorney General refuses to change his legal advice on the controversial backstop.

Geoffrey Cox told MPs that the"legal risk" of the United Kingdom being kept in the controversial Northern Ireland backstop against its will remained"unchanged."It comes as the House of Commons prepares to vote on the Withdrawal Agreement for a second time, having rejected a previous version of the deal by a record-breaking margin of 230 votes in January.

Remember, May has been under intense pressure from pro-Brexit MPs and the Democratic Unionist Party to give the UK a fixed route out of the backstop arrangement, either through a fixed time-limit or a unilateral exit mechanism. This tweaks fall short of delivering either.
