Brexit Could Be Delayed by Two Months Under Theresa May’s New Plans: Report
HURRY UP AND WAIT
Brexit will be delayed for up to two months under new plans being considered by Prime Minister Theresa May, The Telegraph reports. May is reportedly considering the plan in a bid to avoid more resignations by ministers who are determined to support a plan to take a “no deal” on May's Brexit off the table this week. Downing Street officials have drawn up a series of options in order to avoid mass resignations. Those options include making a formal request to the European Union to delay Brexit if the Prime Minister cannot secure a deal by March 12, just 17 days before the UK is meant to leave the EU. As the Brexit crisis goes down to the wire, May said a so-called “meaningful vote” would not take place this week as was previously expected.
