May meets Merkel as Tories try to oust her

Theresa May headed to Berlin as part of her efforts to win a short delay to Britain’s departure from the European Union, while at home some in her Conservative Party try to throw her overboard.
EU diplomats are said to be settling on the idea of offering an extension to Britain despite the lack of progress at home.
It will also be tied to commitments from May that she — and any successor — wouldn’t try to disrupt EU business.
The prime minister was expected to press her case when she met German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“This isn’t a time problem, we have above all, on the British side, a decisions problem,” German Europe Minister Michael Roth told reporters when asked what Merkel would tell May about the length of an extension.
Meanwhile, in London, face-to-face talks will resume between the government and the main opposition Labour Party, after four days in which the two sides have exchanged messages without reaching an agreement.
