Theresa May

Thousands of people opposed to Britain delaying its departure from the European Union marched through central London on March 29 as lawmakers in parliament strongly rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal for a third time.

British Prime Minister Theresa May will renew attempts to push through her Brexit plan, after she dramatically offered to quit to save her deal and MPs failed in their own bid to break the deadlock.

British lawmakers called on Prime Minister Theresa May on March 26 to heed whatever alternative Brexit strategy they can settle on after they attempted to break the impasse by grabbing control of the process in parliament.

A petition for revoking Brexit and retaining UK membership in the European Union gathered over 5 million signatures, the Guardian reported.

European Union leaders warned Britain on March 22 it had a final opportunity to leave the bloc in an orderly fashion after giving Prime Minister Theresa May two weeks' reprieve until April 12 before Britain could tumble out without a deal.

Prime Minister Theresa May requested a three-month delay to Brexit on March 20 after her failure to get a deal ratified by parliament left the United Kingdom's divorce from the European Union in turmoil.

British MPs today adopted a government proposal to postpone Brexit, as well as a new vote on the exit treaty agreed by Theresa May and Brussels, the France press said.
 

If Britain has not left the EU until the election of MEPs, it will have to participate in these elections. This was stated at a press conference by a spokesman for the European Commission.

The European Union and the British government have negotiated a deal to step out of the stalemate around Brexit, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said, quoted by Associated Press.

Juncker said the EU and the British government are behind the revisions aimed at ending the deadlock over the Brexit agreement.

Brexit could be reversed if lawmakers reject the government's exit deal, British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt said on March 10 after two major euroskeptic factions in parliament warned that Prime Minister Theresa May was facing a heavy defeat.
