Theresa May's position is looking shakier than ever as Brexit negotiations drag on | Analysis by janemerrick23

Europe's leaders are headed to Brussels on Wednesday for an emergency Brexit summit at which they will debate the possibility of another delay to the Brexit process.For their part, the remaining European members appear to be open to an extension, but some are concerned that the Westminster impasse will not be resolved by mid-summer.

"In reality, granting such an extension would increase the risk of a rolling series of short extensions and emergency summits, creating new cliff-edge dates. This, in turn, would almost certainly overshadow the business of the EU27 in the months ahead. The continued uncertainty would also be bad for our businesses and citizens. Finally, if we failed to agree on any next extension, there would be a risk of an accidental no-deal Brexit.

The spokesman added:"France being portrayed as a bad cop is not correct. We are looking for solutions but we need to stay firm.”Talk about taking it down to the wire.

janemerrick23 The entire country voted to BREXIT and the left is still mad at them.

janemerrick23 I applaud Theresa May for offering to step aside If Britain stays in the EU. I am an American, I believe that a common border = common language and trade and understanding of diplomacy.

janemerrick23 The idea of a British Prime Minister going begging to a German Chancellor for an extension to remain in the European Union sickens me.

janemerrick23 Perhaps if she admitted defeat and went home a month ago...

janemerrick23 Revoke Article 50 and revoke this Prime Minister and her party of goons!
