No-deal Brexit or short delay? TheresaMay offers British lawmakers a choice

LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday offered lawmakers the chance to vote in just over two weeks on whether to delay Brexit or go for a potentially disorderly no-deal exit from the European Union if her attempt to ratify a divorce deal fails.

But British lawmakers worried that Mrs May risks thrusting the world's fifth largest economy into an economic crisis have threatened to usurp control of Brexit from the government in a series of votes on Wednesday. "The United Kingdom will only leave without a deal on March 29 if there is explicit consent in the House for that outcome," Mrs May said."An extension cannot take no-deal off the table."
