Inside Story

Can Theresa May deliver Brexit?

Britain’s prime minister is fighting to save her job – and convince the nation to back her divorce deal with the EU.

Britain’s exit from the European Union has finally been agreed – but Brexit is far from a done deal.

While the UK remains deeply divided, EU leaders are due to sign the draft document in Brussels next week.

But first, MPs in London must approve. And Prime Minister Theresa May is under attack from her party, parliament and the public.

All criticising her for failing to negotiate better divorce terms to go it alone. She said it is the only deal that will work.

But failing to bow to demands to change the deal risks losing her job.

Conservative Party MPs are gathering support, hoping to trigger a vote of no confidence in her leadership.

So, can a deal be reached?  And what if there is no deal?
