EMANNUEL Macron will veto any attempt by the UK Government to postpone Brexit, according to French magazine Le Point.
Theresa May has written to European Council president, Donald Tusk, to request an extension to Article 50 until June 30 while she attempts to gather support from MPs for her withdrawal agreement.
The request, however, requires the unanimous approval of all 27 of the other EU members.
Earlier this afternoon, a document from the EU Commission indicated that May's request to extend Article 50 until the end of June is not a workable solution.

Le Point wrote: "For Macron, it is decided: we must refuse to allow the British to postpone the Brexit, scheduled for March 29. In any case, this is the position he will express on Thursday at the European Council."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
