British Premier Theresa May’s government has narrowly avoided defeat on a key EU withdrawal bill. The Great Repeal Bill will allow the government to roll back European laws without parliamentary approval. Opposition groups have branded the government’s pushing through of the controversial bill the biggest power grab in 100 years.
