British Prime Minister Theresa May warns it would be 'catastrophic' to delay Brexit. The comments come as the EU is preparing to delay Brexit until at least July, prompting Mrs May to urge MPs not to let down the people who backed Brexit in a 2016 referendum.
Mrs May postponed a vote in parliament on her deal in December after admitting she was set to lose it. As parliament looks likely to reject her deal with Brussels in a vote on Tuesday, Mrs May has urged MPs to forget the games and do what is right for the country. Mrs May has so far refused to retreat from her unpopular deal, which envisages close trading ties with the EU after Britain exits on March the 29th - but without any say on policy, as the country has now.
Brexit minister Stephen Barclay told the BBC that persuading enough MPs to support the deal would be challenging.
