British newspaper, "The Sunday Times" has reported that Britain's exit from the European Union could be delayed until at least late 2019. "Times" cited sources who were briefed by government ministers, as saying the UK was too "chaotic" to start the two-year process early next year.

Since the UK voted to leave the EU on June 23rd, views have differed over when the UK should invoke "Article 50," which sets the clock ticking on a two-year deadline to leave the bloc.

Prime Minister Theresa May, who campaigned for Britain to remain in the EU -- now leads a cabinet of ministers from either side of the debate. She said she would not trigger the Brexit talks this year as Britain needs time to prepare.
