Unless Prime Minister Theresa May can get a Brexit deal approved by the British parliament, then she will have to decide whether to delay Brexit or thrust the world’s fifth largest economy into chaos by leaving without a deal on March 29. She pressed for “legally binding changes” at talks with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Wednesday. May wants to prevent the “backstop” policy on the Irish border binding Britain indefinitely to EU rules. Brexit minister Steve Barclay will be back in Brussels on Thursday, along with the Attorney General Geoffrey Cox. Some senior British ministers have warned May she must agree to delay Brexit if there is no divorce deal or face a rebellion in parliament next week, the Sun newspaper reported.
