UK PM 'CONSIDERS BREXIT DELAY'

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is reportedly considering committing to a Brexit delay if she can't secure a deal with the EU by mid-March.

She's told lawmakers they'll get a so-called 'meaningful vote' on a Brexit deal by March 12th.

But Mrs May is under pressure from some MPs to rule out a 'no deal' Brexit if she can't reach an agreement with the EU that she can get through the UK's House of Commons.

She's been holding Brexit talks at an EU summit in Sharm-el-Sheikh and continues to insist changes can be won to the controversial Irish border backstop solution.

Conservative MP Dominic Grieve says law-makers will take action themselves anyway.
