Stormont crisis will not delay Brexit process, says Theresa May

The political crisis in Belfast will not delay the process for Britain’s exit from the EU, British prime minister Theresa May has said.

Northern Ireland is facing a snap election following the resignation of deputy first minister Martin McGuinness.

The SNP’s Westminster leader Angus Robertson called on the prime minister to delay triggering Article 50 (seceding from the European Union) if voters go to the polls because it would leave Northern Ireland voiceless in the Brexit process.
