LONDON, Nov. 15 -- Embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May on Thursday vowed to press ahead with her Brexit plan on the basis of a draft agreement between London and Brussels, despite a political crisis looming large over the hard-won deal, including ministerial resignations within hours earlier in the day.
The prime minister has been fighting in the parliament and at press conference, not to mention her efforts behind the scenes, to save the Tuesday agreement which, if ratified by British and European Union parliaments, sets terms on Britain's departure from the European Union on March 29, 2019.
The massive resignations came as May was giving a fighting statement in the parliament in a bid to rally support to her deal.Her series of public remarks were intended to send a message: The draft deal on the table is the only best choice for Britain to leave the trading bloc, and she is the most suitable leader to deliver the Brexit as mandated by the 2016 referendum.
"The choice is clear. We can choose to leave with no deal," she told the lower parliament house. "We can risk no Brexit at all. Or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated: This deal."
Hours later, she told the news conference in her Downing Street residence that "the course I have set out is the right one." Furthermore, she added: "I believe with every fibre of my being -- the approach is right." "I am going to do my job," said May, who repeated in public that she will work very hard to deliver Brexit, ruling out her own possible resignation.
