A delegation of four Remainers in Theresa May’s Cabinet have confronted her and warned her she must delay Brexit rather than pursue a clean, No Deal break with the EU.
As many as 100 anti-Brexit MPs could back an amendment tabled by Labour’s Yvette Cooper and Tory Oliver Letwin which would see Brexit pushed beyond March 29th rather than allow it to take place on World Trade Organization (WTO) — or “No Deal” — terms, the Guardian reports.
Lord Chancellor David Gauke, Business Secretary Greg Clark, Scottish Secretary David Mundell, and Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd are said to have warned the Prime Minister that, if she cannot secure parliamentary backing for her already-rejected “Soft Brexit” deal with the EU, which the bloc has so far been unwilling to change, she must delay Britain’s departure from it.
