.theresa_may on the Brexit: MPs need to decide if they want to accept the deal on the table, leave without a deal, or not leave at all. It's high time parliament makes a decision. MORE: firstedition
British Prime Minister Theresa May has written to the European Union, requesting that Brexit be postponed by three months.
Ms May has told the House of Commons that she is unwilling to extend any longer than June 30, warning that the delay doesn't rule out the possibility of a no-deal divorce. European Council President Donald Tusk says a short extension to Article 50 is an option on the condition that MPs pass what would be the third revision on the withdrawal agreement.
