British Prime Minister Theresa May will hold the so-called a meaningful vote on her Brexit deal on Tuesday as planned, her spokesman said after media reports that she could downgrade the status of the vote. The spokesman said the government’s motion which will be debated and voted on would be published later on Monday. “It will be a meaningful vote,” the spokesman told reporters after being asked what the vote on Tuesday would entail – whether it would be on the Brexit deal as it stands or on a hoped-for deal that includes limitations to the so-called Irish backstop that have not as yet been agreed in Brussels.
