The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.LONDON — British lawmakers on Thursday voted to seek an extension to the country's Brexit deadline, throwing further doubt on the U.K.'s impending divorce from the European Union., members of Parliament overwhelmingly voted 412-202 for the resolution.

"After the last few days of government chaos and some defeats, all of us now have the opportunity and the responsibility to work together to find a solution to the crisis facing this country where the government has dramatically failed to do," opposition Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn told the House of Commons after the vote.

The motion directs Prime Minister Theresa May to ask E.U. leaders for at least three months longer to work out what has become a protracted political mess. May will need all 27 other members of the bloc to agree to extend the March 29 deadline. It is far from certain that such unanimity exists. Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, said he had appealed to European nations to be open to a"long extension" if necessary.
