- PM May is talking to the opposition, (Labour), to try to find a solution to the Brexit impasse while simultaneously asking the EU today at an emergency summit for an extension of sorts, with various options that were laid on the table, one of which being an extension until 30 June until the UK passes a deal.
- PM May is, however, aiming to get the deal through parliament before 22 May (which would mean the UK would not have to go ahead with the European elections).
On the day where EU leaders gathered for an emergency Brexit, whereby the UK parliament has still not approved a deal and PM May was looking for an extension of sorts, we have some key updates on the situation as follows:
- Tusk says agreed on an extension.
- The extension is agreed until October Brexit – review in June.
More to come…
