British parliament backs Brexit delay vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Britain’s parliament on Thursday voted to ask the European Union to delay Brexit until at least June and head off a chaotic end to their 46-year partnership in two weeks.
The UK is barrelling towards the March 29 Brexit deadline with no approved EU withdrawal agreement and a prime minister who appears to have lost control over her bickering cabinet. MPs have twice rejected the deal struck by Prime Minister Theresa May’s with the other 27 EU nations — in January and on Tuesday.
May had already lost her voice earlier in the week and did not stand up to speak before the chamber after all the voting had wound down for the day. He reflected Brussels’ long-standing position that a closer relationship is possible if May abandons her opposition to staying in the EU customs union.
