The Prime Minister warned MPs Britain has been plunged into "crisis" after they failed to back her Brexit deal for a second time. She has written to EU leaders requesting both a short and long delay to Britain’s leaving date of March 29, according to ITV’s Robert Peston. But Mrs May has ruled out scrapping Brexit altogether by revoking Article 50 through Parliament.

Mr Peston tweeted: “Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman: ‘PM is not prepared to revoke article 50.
“‘This is not something she is prepared to countenance’.”
Mrs May has reportedly written to the EU to ask for a Brexit delay of up to two years.
She told ministers she would write to the EU to ask for date of June 30.
