UK asks EU for Brexit extension until 30 June - BBC News

Theresa May has written to the EU to request a further delay to Brexit until 30 June.

The UK is currently due to leave the EU on 12 April and, as yet, no withdrawal deal has been approved by MPs.

Mrs May has proposed, if UK MPs agree a withdrawal deal in time, the UK should be able to leave before European Parliamentary elections on 23 May.

But she said the UK would prepare to field candidates in those elections, in case they do not reach agreement.

If any students are watching this and you happen to be behind on some homework, just ask for an extension 😉

[asikasikjo]

The UK is giving the US some serious competition for best reality show.

[bushwhacked]

The genie is out of the bottle now, the corruption is exposed for all to see.

[lunes-]

Brexilicious
EU give UK
1000 years extension...

[paulhumphreys]

Come on EU just kick us out already. You'd be doing us a favour.

[zenoist]

What's the point ? The EU have already said they wont budge from their stance.
You have to be prepared to walk away with no deal if an asking price is too high.

[pmpmpmpmpmpmpm]

LOL AT this point the UK will never leave!

[yoloswaggins]

Disgraceful, I have more hope in the EU forcing a no deal brexit than the UK parliament. How very ironic.

[annascott]

Another extension? This is an absolute disgrace!

[jennyclark]

Is anyone else absolutely sick of this whole thing? We voted to leave so let's just get on with it!! 🤬
