Theresa May announces short extension of Article 50

Theresa May's offer of talks with Jeremy Corbyn or bowing to the will of Parliament over Brexit looks set to pave the way for a dramatic series of votes over the next week. With EU leaders set to hold an emergency European Council on April 10, it could set the Prime Minister up with a plan that could win them over and get the Brexit delay she outlined in her dramatic address in Downing Street tonight. Mrs May must have a new plan in her pocket by the time she sees EU leaders next Wednesday. In practice, talks with Mr Corbyn must have concluded by Monday night and the last chance for MPs to have a say is Tuesday night. Mrs May appeared to abandon attempts to woo hardcore Brexiteers in her own party and the DUP, who appear irretrievable lost in their desire for a hard Brexit. Instead she said she wanted to agree a way forward with the Labour leader - with whom she has already held fruitless talks. But she signalled that if she and the Labour leader were still unable to agree terms she would give over Government time to come up with an alternative.
