Brexit - Germany and most other EU governments will back another delay to Brexit regardless of who becomes UK PM

Times citing an unnamed 'senior European source'

  • Most European governments believe that the future Tory leader will be forced to use the extra time for a second referendum to break the deadlock in Westminster.
  • The final deadline is expected to be as late as next spring.
  • "We hate it," the source said, "but we are going to give them another extension. In the end no one wants to be seen as the one who pulls the plug."
