Theresa May could be set for an awkward climbdown to avoid a government walkout over Brexit. The UK prime minister could be forced to delay Britain's scheduled departure from the EU, a suggestion she pushed back on yesterday, amid reports that several senior ministers are prepared to quit. Three cabinet ministers - Amber Rudd, Greg Clark and David Gauke - have publicly indicated that they could support a cross-party amendment to give parliament the power to stop the UK from leaving without a deal, and The Times reports that the trio will resign if Mrs May does not guarantee that Brexit can be delayed if her deal is rejected again. With little more than a month to go until Britain is scheduled to leave the bloc, the prime minister is under pressure to push back the exit date after delaying a critical House of Commons vote on her withdrawal agreement.
