		</div><p>Theresa May has ruled out cancelling the Brexit countdown despite a public petition soaring past two million signatures.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister said she did not believe in halting the deadline after the EU offered a delay plan, adding: “I do not believe that we should be revoking Article 50.”</p>
<p>With the highest sign-up rate on record, more than 2,000,000 people had pledged their support by the time she fielded questions from reporters in Brussels yesterday.</p>
<p>There was a clear result that we should leave the European Union</p>
<p>The petition on the UK Parliament website quickly gained support in the wake of Mrs May&#8217;s speech on Wednesday night and Revoke Article 50 started to trend on Twitter.</p>
<p><!--Ads4--></p>
<p>As of 6am on Friday, nearly 2.3 million people had pledged their support to the cause.</p>
<p>Data from the petitions website shows support for the petition concentrated in London and constituencies around Cambridge, Brighton, Bristol, Oxford and Edinburgh.</p>
<p>In the 2016 referendum, these six cities were also in favour of Remain.</p>
<p>During her Downing Street statement, Mrs May controversially blamed MPs for failing to stick to the result of the 2016 vote and told the public: “I am on your side.”</p>
<p>The Petitions Committee said nearly 2,000 signatures were being completed every minute over Thursday lunchtime, crashing the website because of the unprecedented hit-rate.</p>
<p>It quickly passed the 100,000-signature threshold needed for it to be debated in Parliament.</p>

<p>A House of Commons spokesman said: “We know that the petitions website has been experiencing problems due to the number of people using the site.</p>
<p>“This is a mixture of people signing petitions and refreshing the site to see changes to the number of signatures.</p>
<p>“The majority of people are now able to use the website and we and the Government Digital Service are working to fix any outstanding problems as soon as possible.”</p>
