THERESA MAY secured a Brexit victory tonight after MPs backed her plan to delay Brexit.
The Prime Minister dodged a string of Remainer attempts to seize control of Brexit, including a bid to force a second referendum. In dramatic scenes, Mrs May’s motion to extend Article 50 was passed by 412 votes to 202, a majority of 210. The Prime Minister must now ask the 27 remaining EU member states for a delay to Brexit beyond March 29 at next week’s Brussels summit.
