Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has written a letter to UK PM Theresa May claiming cross-party Brexit talks to find a compromise solution had failed due to “the increasing weakness and instability” of her Tory government.
Corbyn declaring the death of Brexit negotiations, which had entered their sixth week, cited May’s decision to stand down as PM as a fundamental reason for the breakdown of talks, saying the government’s authority has been “eroded.”
…talks between us about finding a compromise agreement on leaving the European Union have now gone as far as they can.
He warned May that Labour would oppose her Brexit deal in parliament – for a fourth time – unless her government makes “significant changes” to it.
They insisted that “real progress on some issues” was made, but there were “challenging discussions in respect of the two sides on customs, and the holding of a second referendum.”
