The possibility of postponing Brexit emerged as Labour came under mounting pressure to say what it would do next if it succeeds in blocking the Government’s own Brexit deal.

Faisal Mekdad, deputy foreign minister, described the Idlib agreement as part of a wider diplomatic track that created "de-escalation" zones in several areas which he noted had later returned to state rule, Syria's al-Watan newspaper reported. "As we were victorious in every part of Syria we will be victorious in Idlib and the message is very clear to everyone who is concerned by this matter: We are coming to Idlib through war or peaceful means," Mekdad said.
