May will seek to re-open Brexit divorce deal: official

LONDON, Jan 29, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – British Prime Minister Theresa May will
seek “changes” to the withdrawal agreement she negotiated with EU leaders
last month, her spokesman said on Tuesday even though Brussels has insisted
it will not re-open the deal.

“We have to have a deal which can carry the support of parliament and
that’s going to require some changes to the withdrawal agreement,” the
spokesman said ahead of a series of parliamentary votes on Britain’s Brexit
strategy.
