UK PREPARES BREXIT DELAY REQUEST

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is preparing a letter to the EU, seeking a further extension to Brexit.

Brussels sources suggest European Council President Donald Tusk is considering offering a 12 month delay - but giving the UK the ability to leave the bloc sooner if its Parliament passes a deal.

In the UK, the Conservatives and opposition Labour Party continue talks to try and find a Brexit compromise.

Britain is currently due to leave the EU on 12th April.

Former UK Foreign Secretary Lord Owen hopes a further delay to Brexit isn't necessary.
