Brexit: UK will leave EU whether Parliament backs Theresa May's deal or not
The UK will leave the EU regardless of whether Parliament backs the particular Brexit deal that Theresa May strikes with Brussels.
Ms May managed to placate some critics in the Commons and Lords by promising Parliament a vote on the Brexit terms she agrees, but sources confirmed the country will leave the bloc even if her particular deal is rejected by MPs and Peers.
Such a move would probably mean the hardest kind of Brexit, with the UK leaving the EU without any successor agreement and reverting to World Trade Organisation rules - meaning MPs could be more likely to back whatever terms Ms May manages to achieve.
The landmark speech also saw the Prime Minister announce that the UK would leave the single market and try and negotiate a new free trade agreement with the European Union from the outside.
