LONDON - Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit minister said on Wednesday he did not want Britain’s departure from the European Union to be delayed for up to a year but indicated he would accept one if it was flexible enough to allow an earlier exit. “Well I don’t want to see a delay for up to a year,” Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay told BBC radio. “I don’t want to see a long extension.”

But he said the key thing was for Britain to have the option to leave the EU as soon as a Brexit divorce deal was approved by parliament. On talks with the opposition Labour Party, he said a permanent customs union was not a good way forward. He said talks with Labour would continue on Thursday.

Brexit hangs in the balance as May's government talks with LabourBrexit hung in the balance on Monday as Prime Minister Theresa May tried to coax... ! ! ! D O O M ! ! ! 🤣😂🐮 The EU hangs in the balance as the EU fails to handle Brexit. How come the future of the EU, and the present functioning of the EU, depends on whether the UK is part of the EU or not. Surely the 27 countries remaining in the EU are strong enough to cope on their own. They can't.

Britain facing long Brexit delay as stalemate puts divorce in doubtBritain could ask the European Union for a long Brexit delay next week if crisis... Yet another reason for a PeoplesVote. Either leave with a no deal or revoke A50! People are sick to death with Parliament ignoring a democratic vote. Nobody on either Remain or Leave want a half in, half out. Whichever way it does, they’ve now created a vacuum for more extreme Parties to exploit. Well done, idiots! Conservative fail.
