British leader faces deadline for revised Brexit plan
LONDON — As Prime Minister Theresa May prepared her next move in Britain’s deadlocked Brexit battle, a senior opposition politician said Sunday that it’s unlikely the United Kingdom will leave the European Union as scheduled on March 29. A government minister, however, warned that failure to deliver on Brexit would betray voters and unleash a “political tsunami.”
May is due to present Parliament with a revised Brexit plan Monday, after the divorce deal she had struck the EU was rejected by lawmakers last week. With just over two months until Britain is due to leave the bloc, some members of Parliament are pushing for the United Kingdom to delay its departure until the country’s divided politicians can agree on a way forward.
