BRUSSELS - A damning UK Supreme Court ruling against British Prime Minister Boris Johnson this week has rekindled discussion within the European Union about another delay to Brexit, with the bloc drawing a line in the sand of mid-2020 at the latest.
But British lawmakers reject the most damaging, no-deal Brexit and, back at work, will now have more chance to upset Johnson’s plans. “I think that there is unanimity...to say ‘OK, let’s go forward with an extension if there is a clear path to a solution and unwinding of the situation we have today’,” he told EU lawmakers on Wednesday afternoon.
Under the law, the EU could also formally demand a delay - which Britain would need to agree to for it to take effect. “A six-month delay until the end of March might be better for us,” the person said under condition of anonimity. A third diplomat stressed the message: “We have no problems with extensions as long as they do not impede with us finalising the budget, which must happen in the second half of 2020.”
