Imminent Brexit Vote Sparks Demonstrations at Westminster

5 年前

Theresa May has bowed to huge pressure and delayed a crunch vote on the Brexit deal, the BBC reported.

The British prime minister’s decision came during concern that the vote on the deal, scheduled to take place in the House of Commons on Tuesday, December 11, would be defeated in parliament.

This footage shows demonstrators marching around Westminster, in London, on Monday, December 10, to protest over the imminent vote.

“Save Brexit,” UKIP flags and “I am dreaming of a WTO Christmas” banners were spotted close to Westminster.

Also demonstrating was the anti-Brexit organization Best for Britain, which was protesting in front of Parliament. Credit: @MarcelHaenen/NRC via Storyful
