Prime Minister Theresa May says she remained 'determined' to deliver Brexit, hours after formally requesting European Union leaders grant a three-month delay

"As prime minister, I am not prepared to delay Brexit any further than the 30th of June," she said.

If Ms May cannot win over enough reluctant MPs to pass her deal next week, Britain faces the choice of requesting a longer delay or leaving the EU as planned on March 29 - without a deal to cushion the economic upheaval.Some EU states, including Germany, had given a largely positive response to Ms May's well-flagged request.

"Our position is to send the British a clear and simple message. As Theresa May has repeatedly said herself, there are only two options to get out of the EU: ratify the Withdrawal Agreement or exit without a deal," Le Drian told the French parliament.Ms May's initiative marked the latest twist in more than two years of negotiations that have left British politics in chaos and her authority in tatters.
