LONDON, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday are seeking the cabinet's support for the Brexit deal text agreed between her country and the European Union (EU).

She told the House of Commons that Britain is "significantly closer" to delivering on the result of the Brexit vote.

She said it would give the UK control of borders, laws, money, and also protect business and jobs.

May is in a crucial cabinet meeting where her senior ministers are mulling over the newly agreed draft agreement.

British Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said Britain would be stuck in an "indefinite half-way house without any real say" over the rules.

He said May was putting a false choice before Parliament between her "botched deal and no deal". Enditem
