Brexit delayed: What happens next between now and October 31 2019?

LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s exit from the European Union was postponed by a late night agreement in Brussels last week that gave Prime Minister Theresa May until Oct 31 to persuade parliament to approve the terms of the country’s departure.


May has so far been unable to get the exit package she agreed last year with the EU approved by the British parliament, meaning Brexit day has been pushed back to avoid leaving without a deal.

Brexit referendum, a rerun of the 2016 referendum would be ‘perfectly credible’ – Philip Hammond

CRIMSON TAZVINZWA||The Chancellor claimed a rerun of the 2016 referendum would be ‘perfectly credible’

“It’s a proposition that could and, on all the evidence, is very likely to be put to parliament at some stage,” Hammond said.
