Scotland's Sturgeon Says Potential Delay of Brexit Deal Vote 'Pathetic Cowardice' From May

Scotland's Fist Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Monday that the potential delay of Tuesday's vote on Brexit deal in the House of Commons was a sign of "pathetic cowardice" from Prime Minister Theresa May and her Conservative Party.

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 10th December, 2018) Scotland's Fist Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Monday that the potential delay of Tuesday's vote on Brexit deal in the House of Commons was a sign of "pathetic cowardice" from Prime Minister Theresa May and her Conservative Party.

The Sky news broadcaster reported earlier in the day, citing government sources, that the vote had been delayed.

"So it [rumor of delay] is confirmed - pathetic cowardice it is from PM. Yet again the interests of the Tory party are a higher priority for her than anything else. This can't go on," Sturgeon said on Twitter.

May will make a statement in the parliament later in the day.

The deal has faced strong criticism in the House of Commons from opposition and May's own party and DUP allies alike.
