Jeremy Corbyn pulls out of Brexit talks

JEREMY Corbyn said that discussions with the Prime Minister over Brexit have “gone as far as they can” as Labour pulled out of cross-party Brexit talks today.

In a letter to Theresa May, the Labour leader said that the talks have been unable to “bridge important policy gaps,” despite some concessions being made.

“Even more crucially,” the letter went on, “the increasing weakness and instability of your government means there cannot be confidence in securing whatever might be agreed between us.”
