  2. 'British politics feels at breaking point'

    Rob Watson
    BBC political correspondent

    BBC political correspondent Rob Watson says Theresa May has now framed the crisis over Brexit as a battle between the people and parliament, blaming MPs for the fact Britain's departure looks like being delayed.

    Theresa May said people were tired of the delay and that she was on their side, he adds.

    Rob Watson says Theresa May's tone has infuriated MPs from all parties who blame her for the problems with the Brexit process.

    "It's hard to see how her attack will help her win support for her deal in any 3rd vote, and the big question now in British politics can MPs who don't want her deal or no deal do anything about it between now and next Friday," he says.

    "British politics feels at breaking point."

    The UK’s request to delay Brexit beyond 29 March will be the first item on the agenda.

    European Council President Donald Tusk has said he believes all 27 other EU members would agree to an extension but it depended on MPs approving the current withdrawal agreement.
