REFILE-UPDATE 1-UK's May says greater risk of no Brexit the longer it takes to find compromise
British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Saturday that the longer it takes to find a compromise with the opposition Labour Party to secure a parliamentary majority for a Brexit deal, the less likely it is that Britain will leave the European Union.

UK opposition leader: I'm waiting for May to move Brexit 'red lines'
With Britain due to leave the bloc on April 12 and no sign of her minority government being able to pass a deal through parliament on its own, May turned to Labour Party leader Corbyn in recent days in the hope of securing a bi-partisan agreement. A deal with Corbyn could be May’s last chance to deliver Brexit without either a long delay or leaving with no deal at all. “I’m waiting to see the red lines move,” he told the BBC.
