In the UK, ITV news reported that its correspondent overhead lead Brexit negotiator Olly Robbins said the parliament is facing a choice of Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal or a long article 50 extension. And, the issue is whether Brussels is clear on the terms of extension.
On the other hand, Brexit Minister Steve Barclay is quick to clarify that “the prime minister has been very clear that we are committed to leaving on the 29th of March… It’s not in anyone’s interest to have an extension without any clarity.”
And, the Financial Times reported that PM Theresa May told business leaders that extending Article 50 process beyond March 29 serves no purpose.
