Prime Minister Theresa May is writing to the President of the European Council Donald Tusk ahead of Thursday’s EU summit in Brussels in relation to a Brexit extension. But, Conservative MP for Wellingborough, Peter Bone, has demanded the Prime Minister seek a nine-month transition period before Britain leaves the EU on “managed no deal” terms. Speaking on Sky News, he said: “I am just saying Theresa May had has a message, two-thirds of the MPs don’t want to get past the 29 March.
“She has said 108 times in the House of Commons, she has said we are not going past the 29 March.
“The British people expect us to come out of the 29 March, it would be a brave or foolhardy Prime Minister to try to change that.”
He added: “I think she should try to go back and get a managed deal as I suggested. She can do this on Thursday.
“I did say it had already been agreed privately and that’s a fact. They have already offered us this privately. This nine-month standstill if we come out on what you would call a no-deal basis.”
