A humiliated Theresa May will embark on a tour of European capitals today to plead for a better Brexit deal, after the British prime minister was forced at the eleventh hour to abort a House of Commons vote on her plan.
Mrs May admitted she was facing defeat by a “significant margin” in the vote scheduled for yesterday, but was unable to tell MPs how she might improve the deal or whether she would put it to a vote before Christmas.
