Britain's opposition Labour Party ramped up the pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May Sunday, saying it will call a no-confidence vote if Parliament rejects her Brexit deal on December 11.

May is battling to persuade skeptical British lawmakers to back the deal her Government and the European Union reached last month.

Rejecting it would leave the UK facing a messy, economically damaging "no-deal" Brexit on March 29.

Labour Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer said it's "inevitable" that Labour will bring a motion of no-confidence in the government if Parliament rejects the Brexit agreement.
