UK PM Theresa May allows MPs to vote on Brexit next month

From Morning Report, 6:09 am on 18 December 2018

To the UK where Prime Minister Theresa May says she will allow MPs to vote on her Brexit deal - next month. Last week she pulled out of a vote on the issue when it became clear she would lose it. She's been trying to negotiate some tweaks to the deal with European Union leaders since then - so far without success. At the same time some weekend newspaper reports say some Cabinet Ministers now want to hold a second referendum on leaving the EU - a vote that could see Britain STAY in the European Union after all.
