The British government proposed a new Brexit deal vote by March 20. Meanwhile, the EU Commission warns British lawmakers: "It's not enough to vote against no deal; you have to agree to a (Brexit) deal." The prime minister warned that a long extension would mean Britain would have to take part in European Parliament elections in late May. May, her voice still hoarse, had warned MPs there were "hard choices" about what would come next. As Brexit day looms large, Britain and the EU are stepping up preparations for the potential catastrophic disruption caused by a "no deal" divorce.
