UK Ministers Hold Secret Talks on Delaying Brexit by Eight Weeks: The Telegraph

UK cabinet ministers have reportedly engaged in secret discussions about a potential eight-week delay to Brexit, according to a recent report. This would push the scheduled departure from the European Union from March 29 to May 24.

The proposed delay aims to provide additional time for necessary legislation if Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal is approved by Parliament. Ministers are seeking a two-month “grace period” following March 29 to facilitate this process.

May is set to visit Brussels on Thursday to urge EU leaders to accept legally binding changes to the Irish border arrangements within the Brexit deal. She has warned that failure to do so could lead to an uncontrolled no-deal Brexit.

The ongoing negotiations between London and Brussels have highlighted uncertainties regarding modifications to the Brexit agreement reached in November, which raises the chances of a delay, a last-minute compromise, or a no-deal exit.
