LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal cannot pass in its current form and must now be changed in order to be approved by UK lawmakers, health minister Matthew Hancock said after parliament rejected her plan.

“The deal she negotiated with the EU clearly hasn’t been accepted by the Commons, and can’t be ratified as is,” Hancock told the BBC.
