European Union leaders offer a Brexit delay until Halloween
After a working dinner that dragged long into the evening, leaders of the 27 remaining nations agreed another delay to Britain's scheduled withdrawal, this time until October 31, with a review in June, an EU diplomat told CNN. May has yet to accept the offer.Prime Minister of Malta Joseph Muscat also confirmed the extension, saying on Twitter:"A #Brexit extension until 31 October is sensible since it gives time to UK to finally choose its way.
It will also infuriate hardliners within her own Conservative Party, who view any further delay as a path to a softer Brexit or a signal that leaving the EU may never materialize at all.Hardline Brexiteers have indicated that, should the UK remain stuck in the union, then it will"become a Trojan horse within the EU," using British members of the European Parliament to create difficulties with key issues like the budget.
