"Prime Minister Theresa May has called off Tuesday's crucial vote on her Brexit deal so she can go back to Brussels and ask for changes to it.
"As it stands the deal 'would be rejected by a significant margin' if MPs voted on it, she admitted."
The biggest stumbling block appears to be the issue between Ireland and Northern Ireland. In particular, what the borders will look like in terms of what people and goods will need to do or not do in order to cross it.

The vote happened, UK should leave the EU and go back to whatever situation existed before or negotiate new treaties with everyone. Why is this taking so long? It seems like rejection of democracy.
In short, as has been observed by outsiders with an axe to grind: "Brexit is not the UK shooting itself in the foot - they are shooting much higher than that". The reality is, the alternative to Brexit is having food to eat. However, reality is not acceptable to people in high places.

Meh, sounds like chicken littling from the usual suspects. Just leave the EU and keep everything exactly the same then change the policies/treaties one by one then.
Also, the government shouldnt be in charge of the food supply for your entire nation to begin with, that is a bad idea...

That's the thing!
Those traties were not signed by the UK, they were signed by the EU, meaning once the UK leaves it will no long have access to them

Oh, we're blaming the "wrong" choice in the Brexit referendum on the Rrrussians now too?
