European leaders have unanimously decided to push the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union back by two weeks to try to give its embattled Prime Minister Theresa May yet another attempt to get Members of Parliament (MPs) to back the EU Brexit deal.
If in a vote next week MPs back the current Withdrawal Agreement—which has already been roundly rejected twice and remains unchanged—the United Kingdom will then have until 22 May to pass all the necessary legislation before an “orderly” Brexit takes place.
