Theresa May's address to the nation sees her tell voters 'I am on your side' over Brexit

Theresa May has blamed MPs for failing to implement the result of the 2016 EU referendum, and told voters who want Brexit to be over: 'I am on your side.' In a televised address from Downing Street, May said that it was 'a matter of great personal regret' for her to have to ask for a three-month delay to Britain's withdrawal from the EU , which was due to take place on March 29. She will go to Brussels on Thursday to make a formal request to the other 27 EU leaders for an extension to the two-year Article 50 negotiation process.
