The UK could be forced to endure a “ridiculous possibility” after PM Theresa May said she would seek further Brexit delays.
Mrs May said after a seven-hour Cabinet meeting that she will try to have cross-party talks with opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn to try to break the Brexit logjam in parliament.Source:AFP
As it is, we now face the ridiculous possibility of being forced to contest the European elections more than three years after leaving the EU and having to agree to exit terms that in no way resemble what the people were promised when they voted to leavePoliticians in the House of Commons have voted three times to reject an agreement Mrs May struck with the EU.
“In the unlikely event that we have a no-deal and the UK were to do trade deals with the US or China and we had chlorinated chicken or hormone beef, or products made by child labour in Asian countries, the last thing we would want is that coming south of the border into the Republic of Ireland. “It is very disappointing that the cabinet has decided to entrust the final handling of Brexit to Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party. It now seems all too likely that British trade policy and key law making powers will be handed over to Brussels - with no say for the UK.
Despite the best efforts of MPs, the process that the House of Commons has tried to lead has not come up with an answer. So today I’m taking action to break the log jam.
