LONDON - Theresa May has warned that Brexit "may never happen at all" if MPs reject her deal next week.


The UK prime minister said that parliament could vote for a Brexit delay if her deal was rejected on Tuesday, an outcome which could ultimately lead to the UK remaining in the EU.Speaking in Grimsby, the prime minister said: "Next week MPs in Westminster face a crucial choice: whether to back the Brexit deal or to reject it.

"Back it and the UK will leave the European Union. Reject it and no one knows what will happen.


"We may not leave the EU for many months, we may leave without the protections that the deal provides. We may never leave at all."
