Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The European Union pushed back the deadline Monday for Britain to leave the 28-nation bloc by three months.
The EU said the "flextension" agreement gives Britain the option of leaving on the first day of the month following the ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement, or on Jan. 31, whichever comes first. Britain has been scheduled to leave Thursday, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson has not been able to push his proposed agreement through Parliament.
