Brexit talks with Labour collapse

 

 

Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has announced that crisis talks to broker a Brexit deal with the government have collapsed.

The  talks were convened six weeks ago, after Prime Minister Theresa May lost the third vote in parliament on her EU withdrawal agreement.

Corbyn has now said that the negotiations have gone as far as they can because and the party has been unable to bridge important policy gaps between the two.

May and Corbyn have faced pressure from some backbenchers to wind up the talks given the lack of a breakthrough.

Some Labour MPs have also insisted they would not back a deal with the government unless it includes another referendum.
