British finance minister Hammond says not there yet on Brexit vote support

LONDON - The British government does not yet have the support of enough lawmakers to win a parliamentary vote on its Brexit deal but a"significant number" of colleagues are coming around to back the plan, finance minister Philip Hammond said on Sunday.

"What has happened since last Tuesday is that a significant number of colleagues, including some very prominent ones who have gone public, have changed their view on this and decided that the alternatives are so unpalatable to them that they on reflection think the prime minister's deal is the best way to deliver Brexit," he told BBC's Andrew Marr programme.British lawmakers rejected May's deal by 149 votes on March 12.

....they can't organise a BREXIT, but keep dreaming about ruling the Empire....
