Theresa May to meet Corbyn to tackle Brexit deadlock



LONDON: UK Prime Minister Theresa May is likely to meet Jeremy Corbyn, opposition leader, later to work with Labor leader to break the Brexit deadlock.

PM Theresa hoped that she can hold talks with Corbyn to come up with a modified version of the deal with the EU, which can secure MPs backing.

Meanwhile, Corbyn said he wanted a customs union and workers’ rights to be the priorities.

Likewise, Tory Brexiteer Boris Johnson has accused PM Theresa of entrusting the final handling of Brexit to the Labour Party.

Another prominent Brexiteer, Jacob Rees-Mogg, termed the offer as unsatisfactory. He accused PM May of planning to work together with a known Marxist. (Agencies)
