LIVE: PM May speaks following EU leaders offer to extend Brexit until Oct. 31.
Almost three years after Britain voted to leave the E.U. in a June 2016 referendum, Europe has become exasperated by the inability of the country's politicians to agree on a way forward.
The British Parliament has rejected the government's divorce deal three times and dismissed every alternative as well.First, she was grilled by representatives of the 27 other E.U. members, before she was shut out of the room while they discussed her country's future over scallop salad, cod lion and iced macadamia nut parfait.
Most countries were willing to grant a long, flexible extension to the U.K., but France was consistently a lone holdout, demanding Brexit be resolved sooner rather than later, according to four E.U. diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity. The new date will push Brexit back by more than six months, but it will do little to resolve the deep, underlying issues that have stalled the project's progress over the past three years.
