The House of Commons is told a vote in favour of extending Article 50 does not necessarily rule out a no-deal Brexit.
There were also suggestions that the EU would not countenance extending Article 50 if it merely pushed the prospect of a no-deal Brexit just a few months further down the line.
It has been reported the EU is ready to tell Mrs May she must hold a second referendum or opt for a"softer" Brexit in exchange for a delay to the UK's departure of longer than three months.Following this week's series of dramatic votes in the Commons - during which MPs rejected leaving the EU with no deal as well as backing a delay - the prime minister now appears likely to put her Brexit deal to the House of Commons for a third time next week.
However, if MPs again reject her deal, the prime minister has warned the EU would then only consider a much longer delay to Brexit, with the length of any extension to Article 50 to be decided by Brussels.
