So how does it work over there? Over here, in the same situation, Trump could veto and then if Congress was going out of session, they would be shit out of luck. Is that basically what's happening?

Sort of, they usually go on a break right now to head home and talk to the local constituents. That is only an issue this time because there is a fixed date when Brexit occurs automatically, (from Article 50,) meaning they wont have a lot, if any, time after the break to pass a new law or hammer out a short notice deal. I don't know the exact calendar on this - but the remainers have been delaying the occurrence of brexit since it was voted for, and are trying now to push it to January.
