LONDON, Nov. 14 -- British Prime Minister Theresa May will face her toughest test yet in the House of Commons Thursday on the long road to Brexit.
Less than 24 hours after she won backing from her top ministers at a Downing Street Cabinet meeting, May is to make a full statement to Members of Parliament (MPs).
She is expected to face a grilling from both sides of the Brexit divide, those who back leaving the European Union and politicians wanting Britain to remain tied to the EU.
The main opposition Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn said Wednesday night his party would announce during May's statement in parliament whether they will vote against the agreement.
MPs representing Northern Ireland will also demand more information on how the deal affects their area.
It was the fate of the 500 km land border separating Northern Ireland from Ireland, one of the 27 remaining EU states, that has provided the biggest headache for negotiators in Brussels and London.
To add to what could be a difficult day for May, she will also learn whether there will be a challenge to her leadership.
If 48 Conservative MPs request a vote of no-confidence in May as leader, it will be up to the party's MPs to decide the outcome.
If the no confidence vote is won it will almost certainly trigger a leadership election that could end May's tenure at 10 Downing Street. If she survives a challenge she is guaranteed a free run without a further challenge for at least a year.
