The EU has given Britain some breathing space. But the Brexit battles are about to get much bloodier | Analysis by lukemcgee
London On Friday, the United Kingdom missed its second Brexit deadline. By accepting the European Union's offer to remain until October 31, Theresa May all but guaranteed that the UK, which voted to leave the EU nearly three years ago, will participate in the European parliamentary elections next month.
The UK's inability to leave the EU on time is already impacting British and European politics.On the same day that Brexit didn't happen , Nigel Farage, the former leader of the anti-EU UKIP, launched his new political movement, the Brexit Party. Theresa May defends Brexit delay amid calls to resign Farage, a Member of the European Parliament since 1999, says his party would target voters across the political spectrum who have been"betrayed" by the political class.
Here's what you need to know about Brexit 03:19While ex-UKIP leader Farage and others might still be hopeful of a pure, clean Brexit, the impasse has also lit a fire under Remain factions in the UK. "It's April 29 and Britain hasn't left the European Union. Brexit is defeating itself," Wes Streeting, a pro-EU Labour MP told me earlier this week.He says the campaign for a second referendum is in a far stronger position than many believed it ever could be.
