Prime Minister Theresa May was left “crushed” and “humiliated”, Britain’s newspapers said on Wednesday as they raked over the fallout from Parliament’s huge rejection of her EU divorce deal.
Daily papers said May’s deal was sunk after the huge vote against the agreement struck between May’s Government and Brussels, as she prepared to fight a no-confidence motion on Wednesday.
The Daily Telegraph’s front page read: “A complete humiliation”, following the 432 to 202 vote by MPs to reject the deal.
“Brextinct” said The Sun tabloid’s front page.
The Times columnist Matthew Parris said it was time for senior MPs to take over the Brexit process.
The Daily Mirror’s front page said: “No deal, no hope, no clue, no confidence”.
The Daily Mail’s headline said: “Fighting for her life”.
The Financial Times newspaper ran a headline reading: “May’s defeat spells trouble for the EU’s Brexit approach.”
The Daily Express headline said “Dismay”.
The Scotsman’s front page headline simply said: “Crushed”.
“May suffers historic defeat as Tories turn against her,” said The Guardian’s front page.
