LONDON: Prime Minister Theresa May asked the EU on Wednesday to delay Brexit until Jun 30 as she scrambled to contain a deepening political crisis, but faced warnings that Britain could still crash out of the bloc in nine days.
However, the European Commission advised EU leaders that a shorter delay to May 23 or a much longer one until at least the end of 2019 would be preferable. But Britain is now in crisis, facing the potentially catastrophic prospect of leaving its biggest trading partner after 46 years next week with no arrangements in place.
May faced shouts of"resign", while opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accused her of leading Britain into"crisis, chaos and division".
