Theresa May stressed that the 27 EU leaders would need to know why Brexit should be pushed back again before approving her request
EU leaders have agreed to extend the original March 29 Brexit deadline until April 12 to avoid a chaotic"no-deal" ending to the 46-year EU-UK partnership.
May stressed that the 27 EU leaders would need to know why Brexit should be pushed back again before approving her request, which needs unanimous support. "We need to be clear what such an extension is for to ensure we leave in a timely and orderly way," she said.May said she wanted to meet Corbyn"to try to agree a plan -- that we would both stick to -- to ensure that we leave the European Union and that we do so with a deal".
EU leaders have been banging on about 'national unity' and 'cross party initiatives' for ages. They'll probably not mind Theresa May's statement, but do they think she's the one to get everyone holding hands in Westminster?
