Brexit delayed – never late, delayed again, postponed or dead

CRIMSON TAZVINZWA, AIWA! NO!||Brexit is an abbreviation for “British exit,” referring to the U.K.’s decision in a June 23, 2016 referendum to leave the European Union (EU).

The European Council (EC) reacted to Friday’s vote by announcing a special meeting for April 10 to discuss Brexit, and a possible extension which would involve the UK taking part in the European elections in May.

“In view of the rejection of the Withdrawal Agreement by the House of Commons, I have decided to call a European Council on 10 April,” EC President Donald Tusk wrote. Continue reading Prime Minister Theresa May loses a third crucial vote on her Brexit deal … Again!
