BRUSSELS/LONDON • French President Emmanuel Macron warned British Prime Minister Theresa May yesterday that Britain would face a disorderly departure from the EU if she fails to get parliamentary approval for her deal on the third attempt next week.
Growing investor concerns that Britain could leave the EU without a deal sent the sterling to a one-week low. "A short extension would give Parliament the time to make a final choice that delivers on the result of the referendum." Mrs May's chances hang in the balance, with positions hardening after a chaotic week when the Parliament's Speaker questioned whether she could even bring her deal to a third vote.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar summed up the situation in London, with no little understatement, as"somewhat chaotic"."We need to cut the entire British establishment a little bit of slack on this and support their request... for a short extension," he told reporters."No-deal will only ever be a British choice."
