Denial of Brexit extension would be “monstrous own goal” – Kelly

The Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly says it would be wrong for the EU27 to deny the UK an extension to the Brexit withdrawal date if it ultimately looks for one.

The Ireland South MEP was speaking in the European Parliament where MEPs will tomorrow discuss the latest developments in the Brexit talks with the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier.

Boris Johnson has repeatedly stressed he will not seek an extension to the Brexit date of October 31st. However Sean Kelly says the EU twenty seven leaders should agree to an extension if the UK asks for it.
