INSTANT VIEW-PM May seeks Brexit delay, compromise to break logjam

Prime Minister Theresa May said on Tuesday she would ask the European Union for a further delay to Brexit beyond April 12 to give her time to sit down with the opposition Labour Party in a bid to break the impasse over Britain's departure. ANDREW BRIDGEN, LEADING BREXITEER AND MEMBER OF MAY'S CONSERVATIVES, TELLS REUTERS:

"In effectively placing the future of Brexit in Jeremy Corbyn's hands the prime minister will have further undermined herself in the eyes of Conservative MPs (lawmakers) and our activists and supporters." DAVID JONES, EUROSCEPTIC FORMER CONSERVATIVE MINISTER TOLD REUTERS:

"It seems to me that she wants to rely upon Labour votes to get this extension through. If she does that, then she is putting the future of the party in peril." DONALD TUSK, PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL:

"Even if, after today, we don't know what the end result will be, let us be patient. #Brexit" (Reporting by Elizabeth Piper; compiled by Kate Holton)
