Theresa May to request more time on Brexit deal | Sky News AustraliaUK Prime Minister Theresa May will try to persuade fellow MPs to give her until the end of the month to reach a deal on Brexit. \n\nThe vote is due to take place on Thursday, and opponents against the proposal are expected to again block the deal, leaving Britain precariously close to a no-deal Brexit scenario.\n\nFormer British prime minister Tony Blair has told Sky News a ‘no deal’ could lead to ‘potentially devastating’ consequences for peace in Northern Ireland if the back stop issue is not sorted beforehand.\n\n\n\n\n\n You got it, Babe! This will fall apart because clearly the real powers that be don’t want a nation that challenges their drive to a totally globalised world. Britain will be punished for daring to leave the first borderless region of Europe.
