U.K. Parliament Vote Shows No Majority for Any Brexit Options

The transcript discusses the ongoing Brexit negotiations, focusing on Theresa May's attempt to pass her Brexit deal by offering her resignation. Despite initial support from Boris Johnson, the DUP opposed the deal, leading to a lack of majority in Parliament.
