U.K. Prime Minister May: Brexit Can Be Delayed



Daily Mail: Brexit CAN be delayed, May tells MPs: British PM bows to Remainer rebellion after brutal Cabinet showdown and promises them they will be able to delay EU exit by two months if her deal fails

* Theresa May conceded MPs will get chance to delay Brexit after Remainer revolt
* Cabinet gathered to sign off extension if deal is not passed by MPs next month
* 23 dissidents met secretly last night to discuss how to stop no-deal scenario
* Three ministers say they are prepared to back a Commons move by rebel MPs
* Jeremy Corbyn has upped pressure by lining up behind a second referendum

Theresa May surrendered to a Remainer revolt today by promising that MPs will get a vote on whether to delay Brexit.

With negotiations deadlocked in Brussels and the clock running down, the PM told the Commons no deal would only happen with 'explicit consent' and it will get a chance to extend Article 50 within a fortnight.

The climbdown came as Mrs May scrambles to avert mass resignations by ministers who have been vowing to rule out no deal in crunch votes tomorrow.

She tried to soothe angry Eurosceptics by insisting that a delay could only be a 'one-off' and was not something she wanted to do. She stressed she will never cancel the Brexit process altogether, arguing that the UK could make a 'success' of no deal if it has to.

WNU Editor: I always felt the fix was in to not respect the decision of the British people to leave the EU, and this delay confirms it. There are too many political and commercial interests who prosper from this relationship, and they are the ones who rule the country. Expect more delays and obfuscations, and maybe a call for a second referendum where all the stops will be done to fix the vote to guarantee a "stay in the EU" victory. Such a tactic will also guarantee the Conservatives being punished by their own supporters for the next generation or two.
