Brexit: ‘Tired’ public needs a decision, says Theresa May
Britain Prime Minister Theresa May has told the public she is “on their side”
Britain Prime Minister Theresa May has told the public she is “on their side”, laying the blame for the delay to Brexit squarely with MPs.
Speaking from Downing Street, Britain prime minister said people were tired of infighting and political games and it was high time politicians made a decision on the next steps.
Earlier, She wrote to EU Council President Donald Tusk requesting to delay Brexit until 30 June.
Theresa May was forced to ask for a postponement after MPs twice rejected the withdrawal deal she has negotiated and also voted to reject a no-deal departure.
She said the delay was a “matter of great personal regret”, but insisted she would not be willing to extend Brexit any further than 30 June – despite appeals from some MPs for a longer extension to give time for a change in direction.
