Theresa May says she will allow MPs a vote on whether to extend the Article 50 negotiating period to delay Brexit beyond 29 March. Prof Bruce Wilson from RMIT_EU_CENTRE: There will certainly be an extension, the question is, what is the purpose of it.
British MPs have voted to rule out a no-deal Brexit in all circumstances, with Prime Minister Theresa May warning that the vote will mean a lengthy delay to the UK's departure from the EU.
In a calamitous day for Prime Minister May, MPs rejected leaving without a withdrawal agreement in a 321-278 vote. After the result, the prime minister confirmed she will now allow MPs a vote on whether to extend the Article 50 negotiating period to delay Brexit beyond 29 March.
