Brexit: May Holds Last-Minute Crisis Talks.
Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May leaves after attending a church service, near her Maidenhead constituency, west of London on March 24, 2019. Adrian DENNIS / AFPBritish Prime Minister Theresa May held crisis talks on Sunday with Conservative colleagues as she tries to plot a path through a pivotal week in the Brexit process, amid reports her leadership is under imminent threat.
It follows May securing at a European Union summit this week a delay to Britain’s scheduled March 29 departure for at least three weeks to get her agreement approved or find a viable alternative.“The prime minister is speaking to her colleagues this weekend,” a Downing Street spokeswoman said Sunday, declining to confirm reports she would hold an afternoon summit with leading Brexiteer MPs outside government.
The newspaper said it had spoken to 11 senior ministers who “confirmed that they wanted the prime minister to make way for someone else” and planned to confront her at a cabinet meeting on Monday. “Changing the players doesn’t solve the problem,” he told Sky News. “We’ve got to resolve this issue.”Britain’s parliament, and cabinet, has been deadlocked for months over Brexit, with lawmakers unable to decide how to implement the 2016 referendum vote to leave, reflecting bitter divisions nationwide.
If May’s deal finally wins MPs’ backing Britain will leave the EU on May 22 under the terms, she struck with the bloc last year. The prime minister and Brexiteers have decried the prospect, saying it would be unfair to most Britons who voted to leave the bloc in 2016.May has told MPs she will only bring back her deal for another vote if there are signs of “sufficient support”.
