LONDON: Britain's exit from the European Union was in disarray after the implosion of Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit strategy left her under pressure from rival factions to leave without a deal, go for an election or forge a much softer divorce.
But May's government and her party, which has grappled with schism over Europe for 30 years, was in open conflict. Their behaviour, he said, was the"worst example of ill-discipline in cabinet in British political history". Britain was due to leave the EU on Mar 29 but the political deadlock in London forced May to ask the bloc for a delay. Currently, Brexit is due to take place at 2200 GMT on Apr 12 unless May comes up with another option.
"There are no ideal choices available and there are very good arguments against any possible outcome at the moment but we are going to have to do something," said Justice Secretary David Gauke, who voted in the 2016 referendum to stay in the EU.
