LONDON - Britain is heading for a no-deal Brexit if MPs reject Theresa May's withdrawal agreement, Emmanuel Macron has said.

"In the case of a no vote, we would go towards a no deal," the French president said at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels.

"It's absolutely essential to be clear at this moment."

MPs are due to vote for a third time on Theresa May's proposed Brexit plan early next week after it was rejected twice.

EU leaders gathered at the summit are discussing whether to offer the UK an extension after Theresa May wrote to EU Council President Donald Tusk requesting that Brexit be delayed from March until the end of June.

This is a developing story.
