BERLIN (AP) — Prime Minister Theresa May has asked the European Union to delay Britain’s departure from the European Union until June 30.
The U.K. is currently due to leave the bloc in nine days, but Parliament has twice rejected May’s divorce deal with the EU.
May told European Council President Donald Tusk in a letter seeking the extension that she intends to try a third time to get the deal approved.
A delay to Brexit needs approval from all 27 remaining EU member states, who are meeting in Brussels on Thursday.
Although she will never win, Theresa May seems to be trying her damnedest to take that “Most Stupid” World Cup from Donald Trump.
Short = 3+ months?
Shorter May: “In the last three months, I have delivered two crushing defeats in Parliament for my shitty-cheese-submarine exit plan. With three more months, who knows how many more crushing defeats I can achieve?”
related - funny thread re: DTjr invoking his dad’s great advice to May - that she didn’t take (thus which is why, according to Fredo, they are in such a mess) - and twitter recalls what that advice was.
The thread picks up after Frum’s tweet which followed Dale’s tweet (the Nardelli tweet opens the thread to read.)
Bur, but, it looked so easy and made great sense.
