Key comments, so far:
- Two years MPs unable to agree on way to implement, we will now not leave on time.
- This delay is a matter of great personal regret for me.
- Im sure you have had enough.
- Im on your side.
- Now time for MP's to decide
- I have written to Tusk to request short ext of Art 50 to 30th June.
Key notes:
- EU's Tusk: Short Brexit extension conditional on support from House of Commons
