UK GOVT PLOTS NEXT BREXIT STEPS AFTER SPEAKER INTERVENTION

UK Prime Minister Theresa May's holding talks with her cabinet on how to proceed with Brexit after a major intervention from the Speaker of the House of Commons.

On Monday, Speaker John Bercow said the government could not hold a new so-called 'meaningful vote' on its Brexit deal - unless substantial changes were made.

Theresa May's expected to ask the EU this week for a delay to the Brexit date currently scheduled for March 29th.

But Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay hopes it will be a short extension and that there will be a third 'meaningful vote' on the divorce deal agreed with brussels.
