The European Union could extend Brexit talks into as late as next summer as momentum builds behind holding a second vote on leaving the EU.
The EU could extend Britain's membership until next summer.

Boris Johnson insists that the UK will leave the EU on October 31, but talks appear close to collapse and the law compels him to seek an extension later this month if he is unable to secure a deal.
