BREAKING: Theresa May abandons request for long Brexit delay after Cabinet revolt

Downing Street confirm she will now only seek a short extension of around 3 months.

May's ministers have reportedly threatened to resign if Britain agrees to a long extension of Article 50. The prime minister had been intending to write to European Council President Donald Tusk on Wednesday to demand both a short extension of around three months as well as a lengthier extension of up to two years.

"[The prime minister] won't be asking for a long extension," a senior government official told the BBC.

Does the Maybot have wireless controls?

AdamBienkov Reached my limit with her & this mess now! Wanted a way through tht meant the vote was respected bt lost hope. This decision should make today the day tht an end is put to this & her ministers and mps even in her party stand up and say enough is enough. MayMustGo PeoplesVote

Given in to the hard right lunatics again,Party before country. Brexit

How many times was it she said no deal was better than a bad one? I'm now convinced they brought an unworkable deal back quite deliberately, and it was all just total rubbish. The Cameron replacement should have been pro-leave!

AdamBienkov Party and power first - stuff the nation.

So she’s spineless? We knew that. Also, she’s stalling again. But we knew that. The year is 2032 and Teresa May is planning a 25th meaningless vote.

AdamBienkov she's not in a position to abandon anything.
