E.U. Approves Brexit Extension Till April 12



ABC News Online: Brexit delay approved by EU, conditional on Westminster's support for Theresa May's deal

All 27 European Union leaders have signed off on a final communique, issued on Thursday, outlining two options for Brexit that safeguard its own elections for a European Parliament.

Theresa May facing intense pressure to name a date for her resignation as Tories slam her Brexit attack on Parliament (The SUN).

I'm amazed that England has lost all of their trade power in the world, that they cant live without the EU.

Didnt think they were that dependent of EU.

The people of your country has spoken, just exit. Lead the way for the other countrys that want to leave.
