(Bloomberg) -- Parliament will vote on two amendments to the finance bill Tuesday that would lead to a government shutdown unless Theresa May wins approval for a Brexit deal, the Sunday Times reports.
- The group of senior MPs leading the effort includes members from all parties and is led by former Labour cabinet minister Yvette Cooper, according to the Times
- The amendments would block some of the Treasury's powers, including raising any income or corporation taxes, unless the Parliament approves a deal or votes specifically to leave the EU without a deal
