Taoiseach 'not playing chicken' over Brexit as May delays vote in Commons

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has warned British prime minister Theresa May Ireland is "not playing chicken, not playing poker" over Brexit after Ms May delayed a crucial House of Commons vote on the deal until just days before the EU-UK divorce date.

Speaking to reporters while flying to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, for the first ever summit between the EU an the Arab League, Ms May confirmed a "meaningful" vote on the deal planned for Wednesday will now be delayed until up to March 12.
