London, April 8: British Prime Minister Theresa May has issued a stark warning to the warring factions within the UK Parliament that the choice was between agreeing on a withdrawal agreement or risk no Brexit at all.


 

In her latest statement on Saturday, the British Prime Minister sought to defend her move to reach out to Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in an attempt to break the ongoing parliamentary deadlock over Britain's impending exit from the European Union (EU).

Her latest intervention comes amid a mounting mutiny within her own Conservative Party for sitting down with Corbyn to thrash out a solution.

PM May is set for another trip to Brussels next week to follow up on her letter to European Council President Donald Tusk seeking a short extension to Article 50 until June 30.

Recently, British lawmakers had voted by a majority of one to force the Prime Minister Theresa May to ask for an extension to the Brexit process, in a bid to avoid any no-deal scenario. The bill, put forward by Labour's Yvette Cooper, was passed by the Commons in just one day.

The UK has already sought one extension to the March 29th Brexit deadline and is set to crash out of the bloc on April 12th unless an alternative arrangement is agreed with the EU.
