That extension is expected to be voted upon by the remaining 27 EU members at this week’s council meeting in Brussels.“But it is something the British people would accept if it led swiftly to delivering Brexit. The alternative if Parliament cannot agree the deal by that time is much worse.” “The idea of the British people going to the polls to elect MEPs three years after voting to leave the EU hardly bears thinking about,” she said.Appealing to MPs to back her deal, May acknowledged that she would have to do more to convince them if she was to secure a majority for it, which she said was “the only way through the current impasse”.

“We will only bring the deal back if we are confident that enough of our colleagues… are prepared to support it so that we can get it through parliament,” finance minister Philip Hammond said on the BBC.
