Explaining the Brexit maze: What happens next in Britain and the EU?

Theresa May is due to travel to Brussels for a special EU summit

British Prime Minister Theresa May has formally asked for another delay to the country's exit from the European Union, buying time to thrash out an alternative Brexit plan with her political opponents. Britain is due to formally leave the EU on April 12, and the government does not yet have an agreed plan to avoid a disorderly exit.

The clock is ticking for May to find a workable exit strategy that has majority support at home, and then persuade Brussels to give her more time to implement it. May has asked the EU to delay Brexit to June 30.
