‘Strong reasons’ to extend Brexit’s October deadline
Expected next European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has said there are “strong reasons” to extend the October Brexit deadline just hours before a key MEP vote on whether she will be given the top job.
Ms von der Leyen said yesterday she would potentially support giving Britain more time to find a solution to the Brexit crisis before today’s European parliament vote on whether to ratify her nomination as commission president.
