In a letter to Donald Tusk on Friday, the Prime Minister "reluctantly" asked for a further extension to Article 50.
But responding to Mrs May's request, European governments have attacked the proposals, dismissing their viability.
Amelie de Montchalin, the French Europe minister, said that the UK could not continue to ask for extensions without “clear and credible political backing”.
“In the absence of such a plan, we would have to acknowledge that the UK chose to leave the EU in a disorderly manner,” she continued.
Spain and Belgium are also thought to back France's hardline stance, paving the way for a no-deal Brexit on 12 April.
