European leaders are in Sharm el-Sheikh, where Brexit is dominating the EU-Arab summit. Theresa May is trying to renegotiate her unpopular divorce agreement, while fighting a revolt at home by ministers who want her to stop threatening to walk away from talks without a deal.

Key Developments:

  • May set March 12 deadline to put her Brexit deal to a vote in Parliament
  • The EU is considering telling May that if she can’t get her deal passed, the alternative is extending membership to 2021
  • MPs will vote on a proposal to delay Brexit on Wednesday

Hinds Says No-Deal Won’t Be Government Policy (8:30 a.m.)

Cabinet minister Damian Hinds insisted the government would not make it official policy to pursue a no-deal Brexit. “We are not going to make no-deal government policy,” Hinds, the education secretary, told BBC Radio on Monday.

May wants to keep the no-deal threat on the table as she thinks it will help get her unpopular divorce agreement through Parliament. But several ministers indicated on Friday they were ready to vote against her to prevent a cliff-edge departure—joining with Labour members of Parliament to do so.
