Brexit Breakthrough

Penny Mordaunt is allowed to leave the cabinet meeting early today at 5.30pm.

The 7 hour meeting resulted in the Prime Minister backing the minority in the room who would not back a no deal.

In order to get enough votes to pass a deal the Prime Minister has extended an invitation to Labour to find a compromise.

One of the problems of extending the deadline with the EU is the UK will need to participate in EU elections in June.

One of the reasons negotiating a way forward has been difficult is the need to avoid a border in Ireland.

Jeremy Corbyn has said he is ‘very happy’ to meet with the Prime Minister.

Donald Tusk calls for everyone to remain patient. Macron does not agree. The negotiations continue but this time with the Prime Minister putting the Brexit of the country above the goals of her political party.
