In a speech to workers at a factory in Stoke-on-Trent, a heavily pro-Brexit part of the UK, May will argue that Parliament has a duty to implement the result of the 2016 referendum in favor of leaving the European Union.
“If a majority had backed remain, the UK would have continued as an EU member state,” she will say.

“No doubt the disagreements would have continued too, but the vast majority of people would have had no truck with an argument that we should leave the EU in spite of a vote to remain or that we should return to the question in another referendum.”
Despite her forceful words, May is likely facing a defeat — her bill is unpopular with both pro and anti-Brexit MPs. She previously postponed the vote, to the outrage of many in Parliament, when it looked sure to be defeated.
