LONDON, United Kingdom—Britain’s Parliament rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal to quit the European Union for a second time on March 12, deepening the country’s worst political crisis for generations, 17 days before the planned departure date.

Lawmakers voted against May’s amended Brexit deal 391–242 as her last-minute talks with EU chiefs on March 11 to assuage her critics’ concerns ultimately proved fruitless.
