British Prime Minister Theresa May says she will seek to further delay Britain's exit from the European Union. After failing repeatedly to win Parliament's backing for her Brexit blueprint, May said the country needed "national unity to deliver the national interest." "We urge the leader of the opposition to work with the prime minister to find a solution," he said. "We cannot avoid failure for them," Macron said before a meeting in Paris with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar. Meanwhile, British lawmakers intent on avoiding a no-deal Brexit have drawn up plans to prevent Britain crashing out of the bloc, by accident or design.
