Varadkar says, UK can end 'no deal' threat by revoking, extending Brexit

Britain can remove the threat of a no deal Brexit by revoking or extending its notice to quit the bloc, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Tuesday.

"Everybody wants to avoid a no deal scenario and the United Kingdom has the power to withdraw the threat of no deal from us, from their own people and from the European Union," Varadkar told Ireland's parliament.

"They can do it by revoking Article 50 or if that is a step too far, they can do it by seeking an extension to Article 50 so the power is there in the United Kingdom to remove the threat of no deal," he said.
