UK PM MAY UNDER GROWING PRESSURE OVER NEW BREXIT PLAN

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is under growing pressure to resign from within her own party.

It comes after she put forward a new Brexit plan, which she wants MPs to vote on next month.

But many Conservatives are saying they won't back it - and the opposition Labour Party insists it will oppose the Withdrawal Agreement Bill.

It commits to allowing MPs a vote on having a second Brexit referendum.

But Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson says it's not enough.
