Brexit news: Theresa May to write to Tusk as exasperated EU leaders demand 'clarity' over delay plan
Theresa May is set to write to European Commission president Donald Tusk to lay out the government's plan for delaying Brexit.
The cabinet spent 90 minutes discussing the issue this morning but reportedly did not reach a conclusion on the possible length of the extension.
It comes as European leaders signalled that they may not agree to the UK’s request for a delay to Britain's departure from the bloc, which was originally expected on March 29.
German Europe minister Michel Roth said EU leaders were “really exhausted” with the Brexit saga and and demanded “clear and precise” proposals from the UK government.
