FYI: On Wednesday, Theresa May survived a bid to oust her as British prime minister, a salvo that originated from within her own ruling party, the Conservatives. But that doesn't yet mean Brexit is a done deal—far from it.
On Thursday, May headed to Brussels, the seat of the European Council, to negotiate further concessions on "the Irish backstop," a key point of contention in the U.K.'s withdrawal agreement.
First agreed to in December 2017, the Irish backstop ensures an open border between the European Union's Republic of Ireland and the U.K.'s Northern Ireland. As a result, part of the U.K. would remain in the European customs union and economic regime for some time, even after the U.K. withdraws from the EU
