Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn meet for further talks on a possible Brexit compromise on Thursday, but a deal remains unlikely.
LONDON — Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn's teams will meet for more"technical" talks on Thursday after two hours of what the Labour leader described as"inconclusive" talks between the two leaders failed to create a breakthrough. Signs of this were clear on Wednesday evening when a series of government amendments were defeated heavily in the House of Commons after Conservative MPs rebelled against the party whip.
In a move designed to commit Jeremy Corbyn to demanding a vote, Labour's shadow foreign minister Emily Thornberry wrote to party colleagues on Thursday insisting that the party mustn't agree to any deal without a referendum attached, saying:"Any deal agreed by Parliament must be subject to a confirmatory public vote, and yes, the other option on the ballot must be Remain."
The new legislation is set to arrive in the Lords on Thursday, where Eurosceptic peers could try and frustrate its passage through the House.British opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn holds the Political Declaration, setting out the framework for the future UK-EU relations, at his office in the Houses of Parliament in London, Britain April 2, 2019.
