LONDON - The opposition Labour Party said on Monday that Prime Minister Theresa May had so far failed to convince it to support a divorce deal, two days before a European Union emergency summit where she will try to delay Britain’s April 12 departure.
Nearly three years after the United Kingdom shocked the world by voting by 52 percent to 48 to leave the EU, May warned that Brexit might never happen but said that she would do everything possible to make sure that it did. “The ball is the government’s court,” he added. “We need to see what they come back with and, when they do, we will take a collective position on that.”
The spokeswoman said May wanted Britain to have an independent trading policy - something hard to reconcile with Labour’s demand for membership of a customs union - and that both sides would need to compromise. Without an extension, the United Kingdom is due to leave the EU at 2200 GMT on Friday, without a deal to cushion the economic shock.
