Theresa May is to request only a"short delay" to Brexit in her letter to the EU today, a senior government source has told Sky News.
The prime minister will head to Brussels tomorrow for the latest EU summit where it is expected the other 27 member states will consider her request for an extension to Article 50 - the legal mechanism to take the UK out of the bloc. If the EU agrees, parliament will have to pass a statutory instrument to remove the current exit date of 29 March - which is just nine days away.
However, Mrs May could face a potential cabinet split, and the threat that such a request will be rejected.
OSkabeeva There should be no delay. The PM promised numerous times that we'd be leaving on the 29th. Sabotaging Brexit & sabotaging relations with Russia seems to be the making of this government.
OSkabeeva По-моему ,Тереза сама не знает чего хочет!
Hopefully its only a short delay until she resigns there is an election and we can vote the bloody lot of them out and I mean all off them ClearTheDecks
Pathetic creature it is
OSkabeeva Ну,ненавижу эту особу, в отличии от других англо-саксов.
Gordon speaks for the nation
We had a vote, clearly this vote never went the way goverment planned! But it must be honoured or trust in our voting system will be lost. I Have voted Conservative for 35 years, you may have had your last vote from me if the referendum is ignored!
Dammed if we do and dammed if we don't it seems. How did we let ourselves get into this mess.
Extension for what
Get rid of the whole lying incompetend lot and give us a 2nd vote. What they think to achieve in a few weeks when they could'nt sort out anything in 2 years?
So , twitter experts what will solve this ? Because nothing that's being offered will be accepted by everyone including revoking article 50 .. so we are now stuck in endless limbo held ransom by self serving mp's who think they can ignore democracy. So come on give us clue
LIAR LIAR LIAR 🤥🤥🤥
Will that be legally binding? 🤔
: The YellowVests across the English Channel represent the parallel to BREXIT and the failure of neoliberalism and Capitalism
Why?
theresa_may what happened to leaving on the 29th March? lies
🙄🇬🇧
So she lied umpteen times saying we will be leaving on the 29th
: BREXIT represents the dismal failure of Neoliberalism and Capitalism.The British don’t even know this...
This is nuts. She will be begging again in 3 months time. Oh well apparently the Tory party is more important than the lives of 65 million people.
She is going to request a short delay which will be refused, then she will request a longer 2 year delay which she always wanted to achieve this has all been pre-planned right from day one. What a bunch of lieing, cheating and deceitful MP'S we have.
Another capitulation to the ERG that will waste time and achieve nothing positive. I suspect the EU will turn her down.
This is primarily damage limitation for the Tories - not the country.
theresa_may What is the use of an extension when her awful deal will never get through parliament, leave now with no deal
I request a delay in MPs expenses until this Shambles is sorted.
More leaks !!
She must be going to try and get her deal through again .
Strong and stable.
Highly doubt if Brexit will take place
