A fresh poll out on the eve of the Commons clash over extending Article 50 says that 43 per cent of Brits don't want to see any delay to our March 29 exit.
The YouGov study said just 38 per cent want to see a delay.
When that's broken down into Remainers and Leavers, 75 per cent of Brexiteers don't want MPs to delay Article 50, but 65 per cent of Remainers too.
Almost three quarters of Tory supporters say they don't want any delay to Brexit either, compared to almost two in three Labour voters.
As it stands we're due to leave the bloc in just 15 days time, but MPs could change that later by forcing the PM to ask the EU for an extension.
This week they've rejected her Brexit deal and also said no to leaving without a deal at all.
With time running out she's now giving them a choice to kick the can into the long grass and give more time to try and sort it all out.
The poll says that if there has to be a delay, then almost half of Brits said it has to be short.
A third said it should be a long delay of several months or even a whole YEAR.
Mrs May is proposing that even if her deal gets passed in the next seven days, she will still ask the EU for a short delay to Brexit to get all the laws passed in time.
But if her deal doesn't go through then she warns she could be forced to ask the EU for a longer delay.
Top Eurocrat Donald Tusk confirmed the PM's warning today, saying: "I will appeal to the EU27 to be open to a long extension if the UK finds it necessary to rethink its #Brexit strategy and build consensus around it."
Ireland's foreign minister Simon Coveney added: "If you have a long extension of Article 50, that opens up the debate in a much broader way to the overall approach that the United Kingdom takes to Brexit."
His boss Leo Varadkar called on Britain to stay in the EU's single market and customs union.
