New Plan From Theresa May For EU Withdrawal

Theresa May must present a new plan for EU withdrawal to Parliament by 21 January.


Theresa May is to continue meeting with MPs from all sides in a bid to find a way forward for Brexit, following her slim victory in the no-confidence vote.

Speaking after talks with the Lib Dems, the SNP and Plaid Cymru on Wednesday, the PM said she wanted to approach the discussions in a “constructive spirit”.

On Wednesday night, she called on MPs to “put self-interest aside” and “work constructively together” to find a way forward for Brexit.

“It will not be an easy task, but MPs know they have a duty to act in the national interest, reach a consensus and get this done,” she said.

But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has refused to join talks unless the threat of a no-deal exit is ruled out.

The prime minister is expected to hold meetings with both Tory Brexiteers and the DUP – both of which rejected her withdrawal deal earlier this week – on Thursday.
