BRUSSELS: Talk is swirling of a possible delay to Brexit after the latest rejection by lawmakers of Britain's divorce deal, but the EU demands clear political"choices" from London before it will agree to it.

"It is the responsibility of the United Kingdom to tell us what it wants in a future relationship, what is its choice, the clear line that must be its own," he told the European Parliament. Barnier's call means"the British need to change their Brexit model - either to a soft Brexit inspired by the Norwegian model or by cancelling Brexit," Eric Maurice, an analyst at the Robert Schuman Foundation, told AFP.

But these options are unacceptable to Brexit hardliners in May's Conservative party, whose support she needs to get any deal approved.The British have"never known how to choose" but that will have to change now, one puzzled European diplomatic source observed.
