UK MPs Vote for delayed Brexit

UK MPs have voted to tell PM Theresa May to ask the EU to delay Brexit by 412 voted to 202.

Mrs May says this could mean a delay of three months before the UK quits.

However the EU – all other 27 states –  will have to agree to any extension to article 50.

The motion that was passed says that if a Brexit plan is agreed by Parliament by  March 20 the delay will be until June 30 – if not it would probably involve a longer period.

That would mean the UK taking part in upcoming European elections.
