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.
