May admits UK is facing crisis

Theresa May has admitted the country is in crisis as she prepares to write to the EU explaining her next steps with Britain heading towards a no-deal Brexit in ten days.

May will ask European leaders to delay Brexit after John Bercow’s bombshell intervention plunged Britain into a “constitutional crisis”, Downing Street has confirmed. 

Following a prolonged Cabinet meeting this morning, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said she would now write to Donald Tusk “in relation to an extension”. 

Whilst they refused to say how long a delay she would request, it is understood that Mrs May will ask for an extension running until 30 June, which could be extended if a deal has still not been ratified by Parliament. 

However, the spokesman insisted that Mrs May had an “absolute determination” to make sure the UK’s “leaves with a deal as soon as possible”.
