Corbyn meets Barnier

The leader of Britain’s biggest opposition party warned on Thursday that there was a “very serious” risk that the country would crash out of the European Union without a deal.

Following a “useful” meeting in Brussels with Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotatiator, Corbyn said May was “trying to keep the threat of a no deal on the table” and accused her of “running down the clock” ahead of the Brexit deadline on March 29.

The Labour Party was “determined” to remove the possibility of a no-deal exit, he said, adding that Barnier had conveyed the EU’s own fears about the predicted economic damage such an outcome would entail for both sides.
