Brexit summit: EU expected to grant UK extension with strings attached

European leaders are to meet for an emergency summit in Brussels to decide whether to offer the UK another delay to Brexit.

Prime minister, Theresa May wants to postpone the date, that UK leaves the European Union beyond this Friday, until 30 of June.

The European Union is expected to offer a longer delay, after European council president, Donald Tusk, urged that other 27 leaders to back a flexible extension of up to a year with conditions.

Brexit secretary, Steve Barclay said neither he nor the prime minister wanted to see a longer extension, but said it was a possibility because members of parliament had not backed Ms May’s deal.
