Short delay possible for Brexit

The EU will grant the UK a brief extension of the Brexit date, but only if the House of Commons votes a third time next week and accepts it.

On Thursday, the 28 leaders of the EU countries will gather in Brussels for a European summit. A decision on the extension desired by the British is unlikely to be made. The request arrived late on Wednesday for this. The date desired by May- June 30- raises many questions. According to the European Commission, this is not possible without the British taking part in the European elections at the end of May.
