Brexit: Angela Merkel vows to fight for orderly process

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she will fight for an 'orderly Brexit' until 'the very last hour'. Mrs Merkel said that current events were in a 'state of flux', adding that European Union leaders would try to react to whatever the UK proposed. The UK is due to leave the EU in 10 days' time, with or without a deal. Prime Minister Theresa May is writing to European Council President Donald Tusk to ask for an extension. She will meet EU leaders later this week. Mrs May's proposed Brexit deal has already been rejected twice by MPs at Westminster.
