Brexit: May expected to meet Corbyn to tackle deadlock
In either event, she said she would ask the EU for a further short extension to the Brexit date to hopefully get an agreement passed by Parliament before 22 May so the UK does not have to take part in European elections.
Mr Corbyn said he was"very happy" to meet Mrs May and recognised his own"responsibility" to try to break the deadlock., including protecting workers' rights, establishing a permanent customs union with the EU and securing the same benefits of being in the single market the UK has currently. For so long, Theresa May has been derided by her rivals, inside and outside, for cleaving to the idea that she can get the country and her party through this process intact.
The offer of talks with the Labour leader provoked a backlash among Brexiteers, with Boris Johnson saying Brexit was"becoming soft to the point of disintegration".
