Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition Labour Party, criticized Wednesday the government for being "chaotic" and "incompetent" in the face of the Brexit impasse.

It was hoped that Wednesday's parliamentary votes would establish a path towards the UK's divorce from the EU. However, the deadlock remained as none of the suggestions secured a clear majority on Wednesday night.

After the Wednesday vote, the British Brexit secretary, Stephen Barclay, said the results strengthened the government's view that May's Brexit deal was the best and only way forward.

On the lack of a majority for any of the eight alternatives put to the vote on Wednesday, he said, "It demonstrates that there is no easy option here, that there is no easy way forward."

After long debate in the House of Commons, most of British lawmakers reject a second Brexit referendum and the no-deal Brexit, which is also the last thing the EU is willing to see.

Earlier Wednesday, May told MPs that she will quit as prime minister if the British parliament backs her Brexit plan, which was voted down twice by large margins in the parliament since January.

In appealing to Tory MPs to support her Brexit deal, the prime minister said that she will step down earlier than planned.

Her offer to stand down came in response to calls from a number of her backbenchers for her to name the date of her departure in return for their help in pushing the deal through the parliament.
