BREAKING: Theresa May asks EU for short Brexit delay
Downing Street said the Prime Minister ‘frustrated’ by Parliament’s ‘failure to take a decision’ but confirmed there would not be a long delay.
In an article in the Daily Telegraph, Donald Trump Jr accused Mrs May of ignoring his father’s advice and claimed that ‘elites control London from Brussels’ and ‘democracy in the UK is all but dead’. Any request for extra time is subject to unanimous approval by leaders of the remaining 27 EU states at a meeting in Brussels on Thursday.
And Mrs May is expected to seek a way of staging a third ‘meaningful vote’ on her Withdrawal Agreement next week, despite Speaker John Bercow’s ruling that it must be substantially changed before being put before MPs again.
