LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May was told at a meeting on Sunday with Brexit-supporting rebel lawmakers that she must set out a timetable to leave office if she wants to get her Brexit deal ratified, a Buzzfeed reporter said.

"Theresa May was told by MPs, led by Jacob Rees-Mogg & Iain Duncan Smith at Chequers today that in order to get the deal through she must set out a timetable to leave No 10 to ensure the next stage of negotiations is under different leadership," Buzzfeed reporter Alex Wickham said.
