FURIOUS MPs turned on Theresa May after she accused them of being responsible for a delay to Brexit.
Theresa May: Brexit delay is a matter of great personal regret
The Prime Minister launched the astonishing attack after she confirmed to Parliament Article 50 would be extended until June 30. In a bid to save face, she said “all MPs have been willing to say is what they do not want”. Attempting to appeal to the public, she told the nation she was on their side in the bid to get Brexit over the line.
But her comments left MPs seething, and many took to social media to vent their fury.
Labour MP David Lammy wrote on Twitter: “Theresa May's attempt to put Parliament against the people on Brexit tonight is sinister.
“It is the populism of Steve Bannon and Donald Trump.
“History will judge her brutally. Our country deserves so much better than this.”

Andrea Jenkyns also wrote Mrs May “just needs to get on with it and deliver”.
Wes Streeting, Illford North MP, said Mrs May “has not one shred of credibility left” and questioned who she actually represented.
