After suffering setbacks in whipping votes for the EU Withdrawal Bill, the May ministry has been forced to remove the EU Withdrawal Bill from the calendar until further notice. Tory and Labour Party rebels, joined with the LibDems and SNP to create a bloc of votes that neither Ms. May nor Mr. Corbyn have been able to overcome.

Having taken the better part of half a year to assemble a new team to travel to Brussels, the Prime Minister is widely viewed as having lost all momentum on the issue. The rebels had wanted a bigger role for Parliament, should a final Brexit deal be rejected by MPs, or if no deal is reached, the so-called "meaningful vote."

The main purposes of the EU Withdrawal Bill are to end the supremacy of EU law in the UK, and transfer existing EU law into UK law so the same rules and regulations apply on the day after Brexit.

The EU Commission has given Britain an additional two-years, which the HM's government has accepted, to cobble together some form of withdrawal agreement. Meanwhile, it looks like a super-majority in both houses of Parliament has been reached that is willing to reverse notifying the EU of Britain's triggering of Article 50's withdrawal procedures.

It remains to be seen if an EU member state is able to unilaterally reverse its withdrawal after invoking Article 50.
