Brexit extension couldn’t go beyond July 1st – Harkin

Theresa May is to continue with her attempts to seek changes to the backstop deal in the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement.

In a further blow to Mrs May, British MPs last night rejected a government motion to reaffirm support to seek changes to the Brexit deal. 

Now, some ministers within Mrs May’s Cabinet are said to be pushing for an extension of the Brexit March 29th deadline if Mrs May can’t win support for her deal in the House of Commons.

However, the Independent MEP Marian Harkin says Britain could not stay in the EU beyond July the first.
