UK chancellor says ousting Prime Minister may sot solution in Brexit crisis
Moscow, Mar 24 (Sputnik/UNI) UK Chancellor Philip Hammond said on Sunday that ousting UK Prime Minister Theresa May would not solve the Brexit problem at hand.
Earlier in the day, the Sunday Times reported that May's cabinet was plotting to oust the prime minister and replace her with Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington amid growing tensions in the UK government over the uncertainty of an unsettled Brexit deal.
"Changing the players does not solve the problem. Changing the party in government would not solve the problem. The problem is that we as a nation have to decide how to deliver Brexit," Hammond said in his interview with UK news outlet Sky News.
The UK-EU Brexit talks are in a stalemate as the UK parliament refused to support May's negotiated deal with the bloc. The European Union has agreed to grant the United Kingdom a delay to the original departure date of March 29. The United Kingdom has until May 22 if its parliament passes the withdrawal deal next week, and until April 12 if it does not. At the same time, the European Union indicated it would not reopen negotiations on the deal agreed with the UK government.
