Theresa May has announced plans to request a further Brexit extension before April 12 if she is successful in securing the support of MPs with the help of the leader of the opposition. British MEP Patrick O'Flynn condemned the proposal and demanded the European Union reject the Prime Minister's request, warning the UK could resort to "political sabotage" to make life hard for members of the bloc. Addressing colleagues in Brussels on Wednesday, Mr O'Flynn said: "You should look ahead. You should imagine how Mrs May’s successor would seek to rebuild shattered Tory support before the next general election if we have not left.

"Guy Verhofstadt is right, the successor will seek to rebuild support by making your lives a misery through vetoes and political sabotage, by rejecting every proposed development of your project.
"Reject another extension, resolve that Brexit will happen on WTO terms next Friday and then negotiate constructively to tie up the loose ends after that."
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) politician added: "Do this and we can still be your best customers. But lock us in and we will be your worst nightmare."
Theresa May outlined her new plan to seek the support of Jeremy Corbyn after a grueling seven-hour meeting with her Cabinet at Number 10.
