May and Corbyn meet for 'constructive' talks but no Brexit deal yet l NickdMiller
But two junior ministers quit the May government in protest at the talks, and a group of Conservative MPs tried to engineer a confidence vote on May’s leadership.newspaper reported 15 more Brexiteer ministers, including Trade Secretary Liam Fox, were poised to quit if May "watered down" her Brexit red lines.
If talks fail to reach a unified position on Brexit the leaders may instead agree on Parliament using preferential voting, most likely on Monday, to choose between four options: May’s Brexit deal, Corbyn’s plan, revocation of Brexit or a no-deal Brexit. Thursday's British newspapers ran reports of a Tory "civil war". The Telegraph said "furious backbenchers demanded Mrs May's head... and the Prime Minister was braced for the possibility of Cabinet-level resignations to come".
Government whip and junior Brexit minister Chris Heaton-Harris also resigned. He said May ruling out a no-deal Brexit “makes my job in government irrelevant”, and claimed May had not been properly briefed on the UK’s level of preparation for no-deal. The DUP accused May of “sub-contracting out the future of Brexit to Jeremy Corbyn”, and said it would not budge from “judging all Brexit outcomes against our clear unionist principles”.The discussions came on a day it was revealed that British soldiers had used a poster of Corbyn for target practice.
