MPs plot to take control of Brexit process from beleaguered UK government


London (CNN) An influential cross-party group of MPs is moving to wrest the initiative over the Brexit process from UK Prime Minister Theresa May. CNN has learned that they are planning to introduce legislation on Monday that would scupper the government's Withdrawal Bill and block a "no-deal" Brexit. Among the MPs behind the measure is the Conservative Nick Boles and Labour's Yvette Cooper and Hilary Benn. That is the day on which Article 50 -- the timetable for the UK's withdrawal -- expires. It says "the drafters of the Bill specifically contemplate an extension of just over 9 months, from 29 March 2019 to 31 December 2019."
