The EU27 are expected to hold further talks without Theresa May at the next EU summit if her Brexit deal does not pass in parliament . MPs will vote on the deal two days before the next EU summit , which will start on 13 December . If the deal is rejected , the EU is likely to ask May to arrive later , so the other 27 EU members can work on no - deal planning . The EU is rallying around Jean-Claude Juncker’s insistence that the deal on the table is the “only one possible” given the UK’s decision to leave the single market and customs union. There is reportedly little enthusiasm from EU members for any further negotiation with the UK , so if May 's deal does not pass , a no - deal Brexit becomes very likely .
