THERESA MAY will be dashing to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris tomorrow to urge them to give her an extension to Article 50.

The Prime Minister has cancelled her usual Cabinet meeting to take part in last-minute negotiations with only three days to go until Britain’s scheduled European Union withdrawal.

Britain is still expected to leave the EU on a no-deal basis at 11pm on Friday if no deal or extension is approved by then.
