Michel Barnier: Brexit extension ‘for what?’

March 13, 2019
STRASBOURG — The Brexit negotiation is “over” and the U.K. must now tell the EU what relationship it wants before asking for an extension to Article 50, the bloc’s negotiator Michel Barnier told MEPs today.Barnier was responding to the second thumping rejection of the Brexit deal — with added legal assurances for the U.K. on the Irish backstop — agreed between London and Brussels. The House of Commons voted Tuesday evening to reject the deal by 391 votes to 242. It is the second time that MPs have dealt a crushing defeat to the deal.
