Feb 16,2020 7:59 am

Theresa May will update MPs on Tuesday on the recent Brexit more talking to you to find it support for your business.

visited Dublin and Brussels searches in the last week, to avoid EU-agreement on the amendments to the backstop "insurance" policy, The Return of the visible Northern Ireland border controls.

Last month, MPs on the Brexit debate on Thursday - have for the watch to be, alternatives to the current backstop.

But the EU has said it would not negotiate the withdrawal agreement.

However, the efforts to a solution acceptable to both sides more.

Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay met a group of Tory MPs are working on possible alternatives to the backstop, before he traveled to Brussels and meetings with EU negotiators, Michel Barnier .

after The Meeting , Mr Barnier said The Talks were "constructive", but added that it was "clear from our side that we are not, once again, the withdrawal of the agreement, but we will continue our discussions in the coming days".

A statement from The Department for withdrawal from the European Union , said Mr. Barclay, and Mr. Barnier had agreed to further talks "in the coming days". Their teams would continue to work in the meantime, "in search of a way in The Future ," it added.

The Statement to the House of Commons on Tuesday - A Day earlier than had been expected - following An Exchange of letters between Mrs May and Jeremy Corbyn .

with a list of five demands to secure his party's support for its offer, including a permanent customs Union .

The Prime Minister struck a conciliatory tone in their reply to-night, and said she was Looking Forward to the two parties meet again "to discuss as soon as possible," pathways to The Future on the UK's EU-exit.

But a No 10 he says rejected all the proposals remain in a customs Union with the EU.

Some of your Cabinet members, the idea struck, with the International Trade , Secretary of state, Liam Fox , Mr Corbyn's proposal calls a "dangerous delusion".

Mrs May said the Labour leader: "It is good to see that we agree that the United Kingdom, the European Union with a deal, and that the urgent task at hand is to find a business that characterized our commitment to the people of Northern Ireland , can command support in Parliament and will be negotiated with the EU not to seek an election or a second referendum. "

This is to say, in spite of Mr. Corbyn, again and again, there is a General election should be. if you Can't get an offer by the Parliament He has also compared to the pressure of some of its members, for a public vote on Brexit.

Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer said that his "key-question:" woman ' s reply was: "Is she ready to move their red lines and to find a consensus?"

"I don't see that in The Letter ," he said.

"The purpose of the exercise was to say, look, there is a majority in favour of a close economic relationship, if you are willing to try to find it, and I have said for some time, we should test that by a vote of a customs Union . "

Labour MP David Lammy - who supports the "people's voice" campaign for a new referendum, said Mrs May's Letter " makes it clear, there is no hope for your consent," Mr Corbyn's demands and said his party should campaign for a fresh voice

But fellow Labour MP Lisa Nandy told the BBC that the policy of life that it is between 40 and 60 of their colleagues " to support the active search of possibilities," a revised Brexit offer.

She Said the government needed to "get serious" about politics on a customs Union and warranty "laws for the protection of the rights of the Workers ".

The anti-British EU-exit of the Liberal Democrats , said it was "amazing" the two leaders were already in "serious talks for the supply of catastrophic Brexit will leave together," 900 days after the vote, the EU.

Brexit spokesman Tom Brake added: "It is time for Jeremy Corbyn , enter The Letters , and instead, direct his attention to the Labour Party policy and The Campaign for people's voice. "

the GMB Union criticised the Federal government's "dangerous brinkmanship" according to wife, the rest of the rejected Can be used in a customs Union . She has insistently on the extension of article 50 - The Mechanism , with the UK out of the EU on 29. March.

Meanwhile, speaking in Luxembourg, Mr Barnier said he would assess how the UK was interested in the changes to the accompanying policy statement, the sketches of The Shape of The Future relationship.

He said the EU was waiting for a clear and stable majority in the House of Commons, not only for The Passage of the withdrawal agreement, but for the subsequent legislation.

Mr Corbyn's Letter to the Prime Minister was "interesting, in tone and substance", Mr Barnier.

Elsewhere, the members of The Alternative arrangements working group - including Conservative MPs Steve Baker , Marcus Fysh , Owen Paterson , Damian Green and Nicky Morgan met with officials of the government in Westminster.

Mr Baker said The Talks were "constructive" and they were anxious to hear how Stephen Barclay and Michel Barnier ".

met The Group several times to discuss alternatives to the proposed Irish cross-border "backstop".

Has to give The Letter , political cover? By Norman Smith , BBC assistant political editor

It could be a very different kind of Letter .

Mrs May only see their red lines: underlined No extension of article 50. No to another referendum. No to a customs Union .

Instead, there is a very conciliatory and friendly Letter .

There's praise for Mr Corbyn in the adoption of the priority should now be on the achievement of a Brexit deal, instead of for a General election.

to be commended for his assessment that the backstop needs to be changed.

And there is some movement on Workers ' rights and The Promise of more money for hard-municipalities pressed.

Also on the customs Union , its main Division, the area of the language is differentiated, even if you are private, your helper, there can be no question of the acceptance of a permanent customs Union .

It is unlikely to win anywhere near enough to Mr Corbyn.

But it may be enough for those who Labour members of Parliament in support of the constituencies, for the political cover to back, or dispense with Mrs Mays deal.

What has asked to work - and how it has responded to the PM? In his Letter , Mr Corbyn asked for five changes to be made to the Brexit business.

The customs unionThe Labour leader called for a "lasting and comprehensive UK-wide customs Union ", the EU introduced in order to deal with the same tariff.

He said it would give the UK a say on all future trade agreements, the EU strike.

In reply, Mrs May said the political Declaration - the second part of your business, this is a non-legally binding Declaration on The Future relationship between the UK and the EU "sees explicitly the benefits of a customs Union , so no customs duties, fees, levies and restrictions.

But She Said it also allows the UK to strike its own trade deals elsewhere.

she added, her the assurance, that the securing of the smooth flow of trade with the EU was "one of our key negotiating objectives."

Speaking in Switzerland, where Mr Fox has just completed a business, to see the country, to do the trade with great Britain the same conditions as it is now, the minister said the idea was "impractical".

the single market, Mr Corbyn also, the business wanted to be a pledge for the UK to work closely with the Single market after he supported the EU's leaves, "through common institutions and commitments".

Mrs may cited the EU, which is to say, the current offer provides for the closest relationship possible outside of the single market.

she added: "I'm not sure what exactly you mean when you say, 'common institutions and commitments, but our team will be able to explore that. "

The watch also, the EU repeated the warning that a completely friction-free trading is only possible if the UK stays in the internal market.

", This would mean to accept the free movement of persons, Labour made the 2017 General election programme clearly, they can't support," she added.

Workers ' right labour has called for the UK to stay In Step with the EU on the rights and protection measures for Workers , which was included in Mr Corbyn's Letter .

On this point, Mrs May said the government had already entered into commitments on the rights of the Workers , and added: "We are investigating the possibilities for further financial support of the communities that feel Left Behind . "

This could be projects on the allocation of more resources to municipalities for major infrastructure.

The PM also said that while they "have always been clear that Leakage should not be at the expense of the rights of Workers or the protection of The Environment ", it does not have the support automatically according to the EU regulations in these areas.

EU agenciesThe Labour leader called for a commitment to participation in EU agencies and EU funding programmes on The Environment -, education -, and industry-regulation after Brexit.
