UK - UK cabinet ministers have secretly held talks on plans to delay Brexit by eight weeks, the Telegraph newspaper reported late on Tuesday. The delay would postpone Brexit to May 24. Currently, Britain is due to leave the European Union on March 29. Ministers are hoping the EU will agree to a two-month “grace period” after March 29 in case Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal passes through parliament to provide the additional time for necessary legislation, the report said. May will travel to Brussels on Thursday to tell EU leaders they must accept legally binding changes to the Irish border arrangements of Britain’s divorce deal or face the prospect of a disorderly no-deal Brexit.
Over the last few weeks, Mrs May has promised several times to deliver Brexit “on time”!
Now we see a possible delay.
Interesting that the new date would be 24th May – right in the middle of the EU elections, which are due to take place between May 23-26.
If this is agreed, this could spark yet another delay, until after the EU elections. After the Euro elections, Britain could be negotiating with completely different individuals… with different agendas...
Watch as the chaos continues!
