UK Prime Minister Theresa May narrowly avoided a rebellion during this week’s debate on the Brexit bill. May defended herself against claims she misled MPs about giving Parliament a "meaningful vote" on the final deal. Some MPs say she reneged on a promise to give Parliament a say after last week’s Commons debate, which the government won. She said she had listened but would not allow Parliament to tie the government’s hands and stop Brexit. The government has said Parliament cannot overturn Brexit or be directly involved in the negotiations.
