UK MPs give nod to Brexit delay

British MPs have voted to ask the European Union to delay Brexit, with just two weeks to go until the United Kingdom is scheduled to leave the bloc.

The UK is heading toward the March 29 Brexit deadline with no approved EU withdrawal agreement and a prime minister who appears to have lost control over her bickering Cabinet, Agence France-Presse said.

On Thursday, MPs voted to ask EU leaders to simply push Brexit back in a bid to head off a chaotic end to their 46-year partnership.
