Boris Johnson's agreement was rejected by MPs who decided not to approve it in Parliament.
Now EU leaders will decide whether to extend Brex's deadline after October 31st.
A letter Johnson was legally obliged to send to the bloc after failing to secure support for his agreement Saturday requires a three-month extension.
But one source for the BBC says the prime minister will not accept such a long extension of Brex.
The British Parliament demanded a delay until January on Saturday. If Brussels agrees, then the only way for the country to move forward is to go to the polls. This Parliament has dropped,” said a source near the prime minister.
