A video grab from footage broadcast by the UK Parliament’s Parliamentary Recording Unit shows Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May speaking during the weekly Prime Minister’s Questions question and answer session in the House of Commons in London on March 20, 2019 / AFPBritish Prime Minister Theresa May faced a cabinet revolt if she asked the EU for a long delay to Brexit, media reports said Wednesday, even after she had warned MPs of such a possibility.
The decision followed a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, where several Brexit-supporting ministers reportedly indicated they might quit if the delay was long.One source was reported as saying that the divisions at the top of the British government made it feel “like the last days of Rome”.May herself has repeatedly said she does not want to delay Brexit, but has conceded this is highly likely given the parliamentary deadlock over the process.
Last week, they agreed to allow her to try again to get her deal through this week, on the condition that if she succeeded, she would seek a three-month delay to Brexit to ratify the treaty. May’s deputy, David Lidington, had warned that without a deal, “seeking such a short and, critically, one-off extension would be downright reckless and completely at odds with the position that this House adopted”.
