BREAKING: European Union leaders have agreed on a plan to delay to postpone Brexit beyond March 29. 9News
The UK House of Commons is split, both among and within its political parties, over whether and how to leave the EU. It has twice rejected the deal May brokered with the bloc's leaders late last year.
This week, May finally acknowledged the Brexit gridlock and asked the EU to delay Britain's departure until June 30 — enough time, she hopes, to win parliamentary approval for her deal in a third attempt and then pass the legislation necessary for a smooth departure.
