Several members, including Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn, criticized her decision to hold the vote after the Christmas recess, accusing her of stalling for political reasons. Other members continued to press Prime Minister May on holding a second Brexit referendum and going back to EU leaders to secure the best deal on the Northern Ireland-Republic of Ireland border issue.
Following the debate, in a surprise move, Mr. Corbyn announced he would introduce a vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister.
