UK Times: Deadlocked Britain faces further year before Brexit
|The times is reporting on Brexit deadlock after today's news, Leader of the House Andrea Leadsom confirms tomorrow's motion is tabled and it is crucial :
- Britain faces another year in the European Union if MPs refuse to approve a central part of Theresa May's deal during an emergency sitting of parliament.
- On the date the country was due to leave the bloc, the Commons will be asked to vote in favour of a stripped-down version of the deal, consisting of only the withdrawal agreement.
- Approving this is an essential condition set by the EU for a short extension of the Article 50 process.
- However, as protesters led by Nigel Farage gather outside parliament, there seems little chance that the vote will succeed, with Jeremy Corbyn and the DUP rejecting the idea.
- EU leaders are preparing to force Britain either to accept a delay lasting as long as a year.
