UK heading for no-deal Brexit on 31 October, EU leaders conclude

Irish PM says there is 'enormous hostility' to further extension among member states

Britain will crash out of the EU on 31 October unless Theresa May's Brexit deal is ratified or a new prime minister calls a second referendum or general election this summer, the bloc's leaders have concluded.

The Irish prime minister, Leo Varadkar, speaking at a summit in Brussels, said that there was now "enormous hostility" among the EU27's heads of state and government to any further delay to Brexit.
