The uncertainty surrounding Brexit is far from over and the British Prime Minister faces an uphill battle to get the deal approved

The uncertainty surrounding Brexit is far from over and Ms. May faces an uphill battle to get the deal approved. It’s also not clear that the EU will agree to an extension, leaving the possibility that the country could crash out of the bloc on March 29. EU officials have said they would consider a delay but only if they understood what it was for. Ms. May has also seen her Brexit deal with the EU overwhelmingly rejected by MPs twice, even after it was revised in a bid to appease opponents.
Ms. May has also been leaning hard on DUP MPs. This week, the government outlined a tariff policy that took aim at Northern Ireland. The policy would only come into effect if Ms. May’s deal was defeated and the country left without an agreement. Most imports would be tariff free but the government would impose tariffs on a range of products, such as beef, lamb and ceramic goods, to protect farmers and certain industries.
“The U.K.’s plan will lead to chaos and encourage lawlessness,” said Stephen Kelly, CEO of Manufacturing NI. “Parliament needs to stop messing around and either approve a withdrawal agreement or, frankly, the Prime Minister needs to call this to a halt by revoking [Brexit].”
