British Prime Minister Theresa May survived a bid to oust her government after a crushing defeat for her Brexit plan.
Before Tuesday’s vote, EU leaders repeatedly said they will not reopen the withdrawal deal sealed at a special Brussels summit in December.
But, following the defeat, French President Emmanuel Macron suggested there may be room to “make improvements on one or two things.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel added: “We still have time to negotiate but we’re now waiting on what the prime minister proposes.”
Irish Prime Leo Varadkar added: “We have always said that if the United Kingdom were to evolve from its red lines on the customs union and on the single market, that the European Union could evolve also.”
Zombie government
More than one third of May’s MPs – 118 out of 317 – voted against her Brexit deal, and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said she was leading a “zombie government”.
