A series of crucial votes in the UK Parliament this week will determine how Brexit plays out. Here's your guide on what, when and why | NickdMiller
Tuesday, March 12: Second Meaningful Vote
If May wins, against the odds, then it will be all hands on deck for Brexit. The UK might need a short ‘technical extension’ from the EU to dot legislative i’s and cross t’s. Downing Street believes that if Parliament votes down ‘no deal’ then it will, logically, agree to an extension.If the extension is voted down, then May could take the politically risky move of seeking an extension anyway. This probably wouldn’t fly, as Parliament has to change the date on Brexit legislation due to swing into effect on March 29.If there is an extension, then at some point the UK has to go through all this again.
Almost a third of the UK’s food supply comes from the EU. Some food prices are likely to increase and there is a particular risk of shortages of fresh fruit and vegetables.
