The Telegraph with the report on ministers receiving advice on delaying Brexit
- Government has taken secret legal advice on extending Article 50
- which it argues effectively rules out a second referendum
- The advice states that Britain will be legally obliged to take part in European Parliament elections in May of next year if it extends Article 50 and subsequently send British MEPs to Brussels.
- It warns that there will be a "high risk of a successful legal challenge" if the UK refuses to take part in the elections because doing so will be breaching people's rights as EU citizens.
