After failing to get parliament's approval three times for Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal, the government will now put the bill, legislation which will enact that deal, before parliament for a vote in early June.

在未能获得议会批准三次总理特蕾莎梅的脱欧协议之后，政府现在将议案提交议会，该法案将于6月初在议会提出投票。

“The government ought to seriously consider putting a public vote on the face of the bill to break the impasse,” Starmer told BBC radio.

“政府应该认真考虑对该法案进行公开投票以打破僵局，”Starmer告诉BBC电台。

“But what we can't do is just keep on buying another week at a time, which is what the prime minister's been doing for months,” he said.
