Officials of British Prime Minister Theresa May plan to rush her Brexit deal through parliament to head off a rebellion from her own party, Bloomberg has reported.
May's team want the final withdrawal agreement ratified by MPs within two weeks of signing the terms of the divorce in Brussels, Bloomberg said on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Under that timetable, MPs would vote on whether to accept or reject the divorce treaty by the beginning of December, sources told Bloomberg.
May appealed to her Conservative Party on Wednesday to unite behind her plan to leave the European Union, warning critics their arguments could put Brexit in jeopardy.
With just six months before Britain is due to exit the EU, she has so far weathered the Brexit storm, shrugging off a barnstorming speech by her ex-foreign minister Boris Johnson that did little to hide his leadership ambitions.
