If Members of Parliament (MPs) pass a new Brexit deal before March 20, the UK would leave the EU by June 30. If MPs reject the Brexit plan that will be presented to them by Prime Minister Theresa May, a longer extension would be needed and the EU would have to agree to it.
Earlier this week, MPs rejected May’s Brexit deal by a wide margin for the second time this year.
The result was via a 413-202 vote

Sadly, 2 mosques were attacked overnight in mass shootings … My prayers & deepest sympathy to all impacted in this peaceful nation. I was sharing with my better 1/2 that Gene Rodenberry’s underlying theme in Star Trek has a crew of today’s “enemy nations” & diverse people all working together peacefully for the greater good of mankind … and in NEXT GEN – we even start getting along with the Klingons – lol … And thus for our own survival, we must get along with those are who different & hopefully better prevent attacks in future.
