Theresa May faces MPs over embattled Brexit deal
Fourth time lucky? Theresa May is facing lawmakers after announcing a fourth vote on her Brexit bill. It's already been defeated three times.
Second referendum: MPs will get a vote on another Brexit poll if they approve her plan, she announced on Tuesday.
Clock ticking on May: The Prime Minister says she'll set out a timetable for her departure after her plan is voted on, as leadership hopefuls jockey for position.
European elections: Voters across Europe head to the polls from Thursday, with May's Conservative Party looking set for a drubbing in the UK.
Stop the charade and let the people decide, Blackford tells May
Ian Blackford, the leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party in Westminster, offers May some "friendly advice" -- "this deal is dead," he says. "Stop the charade, and let’s get on with putting the decision back to the people once and for all.”
"Look around. There is not support for the prime minister's deal," he adds, predicting she might face an even bigger defeat than last time around.
And Blackford takes a dig at the absence of some of May's key cabinet members from Parliament, suggesting they're plotting a coup.
May hits back that voting for the SNP would be voting to "betray democracy."
