With Britain’s departure now set for April 12, May’s government is running out of time to get a deal through Britain’s divided parliament, and must come up with a new plan to secure a new delay from EU leaders at a summit on Wednesday. “Specifically provided we are leaving the EU then it is important that we compromise, that’s what this is about and it is through gritted teeth,” said Andrea Leadsom, the Brexit-supporting leader of the House of Commons .The Andrew Marr Show
“I think both sides are committed to working quite rigorously to compromise as much as possible so that we can provide that compromise Brexit deal that I think parliament desperately needs at the moment,” she told the BBC. May, who has been verbally mauled by members of her own party for turning to Labour, herself warned Brexit-supporting legislators that “the longer this takes, the greater the risk of the UK never leaving at all”.
