BREAKING: Theresa May asks the EU to delay Brexit until June 30
LONDON — Theresa May has written to the EU requesting a three-month extension of Article 50, meaning Brexit could not take place until June 30.
She abandoned her plans to request a lengthy delay to Brexit of up to two years after a threatened revolt from her Cabinet. However, Downing Street sources confirmed on Wednesday morning that the prime minister would no longer be seeking the lengthier extension after members of her Cabinet reportedly threatened to resign."[The prime minister] won't be asking for a long extension," a senior government official said.
Any lengthier extension would require the UK to take part in the European elections in May and would have risked the EU attaching strict conditions, such as the demand that Britain should agree to a softer Brexit or to hold a second referendum.
