Theresa May to skip World Economic Forum in Davos amid Brexit crisis

Theresa May is reportedly set to announce she won’t attend the World Economic Forum in Davos next week as she scrambles to save Brexit.

THERESA MAY is preparing to shun next week’s Davos summit with world leaders because of the Brexit chaos, sources claim.

The Sun reports that the PM’s absence from the annual World Economic Forum at the plush Swiss resort is expected to be revealed later today.

She was scheduled to fly out next Wednesday.

The revelation comes with the PM mired in cross-party talks as she tries to break the Brexit deadlock.

Mrs May was a huge draw two years ago after taking over in No10.

But last year the main Davos hall was only two-thirds full for her 30-minute address.

Japanese PM Shinzo Abe last week said the “whole world” was against a No Deal.
