EU leader Jean-Claude Juncker vowed Wednesday to work until the last moment to prevent a "no deal" Brexit, but admitted Britain crashing out now appears to be a likely result.

Addressing the European Parliament after Prime Minister Theresa May asked for a short postponement, Juncker said London remains on course for Brexit next week.

But he added: "The European Union will not kick any member state out.

"I will personally do everything I can to prevent a disorderly Brexit and I expect political leaders across the EU27 and in the United Kingdom to do the same."
