UK PM sends unsigned letter to Brussels seeking further Brexit delay

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has sent a request to the EU for a delay to Brexit - but without his signature. The request was accompanied by a second letter, signed by Mr Johnson, which says he believes that a delay would be a mistake. The PM was required by law to ask the EU for an extension to the 31 October deadline after losing a Commons vote earlier Saturday. EU Council President Donald Tusk tweeted that he had received the extension request.He did not provide details of its content, but added that he will now consult EU leaders "on how to react". Hours after losing a cvote in a historic Saturday session in the House of Commons, the prime minister ordered a senior diplomat to send an unsigned photocopy of the call by MPs set out in the so-called Benn Act, passed last month. A senior Downing Street source said that the hard copy and email copy of the letter would be conveyed by Sir Tim Barrow, the UK's representative in Brussels.
