BRUSSELS — She went in with a plea to leave the European Union in June, she came out with a deal for Halloween. At 2.45am local time Thursday morning, Prime Minister Theresa May used a brisk press conference to bleary-eyed journalists to insist she had secured a win – that Brexit day would now be delayed until October 31. The PM used the early hours press conference to acknowledge the “huge frustration” that she had been forced to extend Brexit again, and for so long. But in doing so, she also performed an impressive 180-degree turn, abandoning her own suggestion that she could resign if Brexit is significantly delayed. The German chancellor even managed to draw a rare laugh from May with an image on her iPad as the PM faced the extreme pressure of an hour-long grilling by EU leaders over her plan.
