THERESA MAY and Jeremy Corbyn sat down for talks today to seek a Brexit “resolution” after the Prime Minister consistently failed to get her European Union withdrawal plans approved by MPs.

Ms May avoided meeting the Labour leader in Downing Street by holding the talks in her Commons office.

Any agreement between them on a position that can win majority support of MPs would allow the PM to request yet another delay to Brexit at next Wednesday’s EU summit to May 22.

EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier confirmed this but reiterated that a no-deal Brexit on April 12 was becoming “more and more likely.”

Trade Unionists Against the EU welcomed the meeting between the Tory and Labour leaders.

It said: “The stranglehold of the right wing of the Tory Party has been broken, Brexit belongs to the people and not to the [European Research Group].

“May’s offer of talks with Jeremy Corbyn will be received with relief and wholehearted support by workers who were beginning to worry lest Brexit will be delayed indefinitely or abandoned altogether by MPs, the majority of whom campaigned and voted Remain in the referendum.”

But Alex Gordon, convener of Lexit, the Left Leave coalition during the 2016 referendum campaign, told the Star the talks were to frame Mr Corbyn as the cause of any further failure by Ms May to deliver Brexit.

He said: “Theresa’s latest turn is an attempt to blame Corbyn for not delivering Brexit. It is a prelude to a general election campaign where the Tories will blame Labour for their own failure.

“It is nothing to do with Tories agreeing to a ‘People’s Brexit’.

“This is just a stunt to reduce the scale of Tory general election losses by snaring Corbyn in some farce that will be rejected by her own MPs.”

In the Commons, Ms May was criticised by backbench Tories for engaging in talks with Mr Corbyn, with Minister for Wales and whip Nigel Adams resigning from government in protest, saying Corbyn was a Marxist who had never “put British interests first.”

A spokesman for Mr Corbyn later brushed off their remarks, saying: “We are clear that there needs to be a majority found in Parliament to break the Brexit deadlock.

“A few insults here or there is not going to dim Jeremy’s commitment to do what is right.”

Brexit Minister Chris Heaton-Harris was the second minister to resign from government in one day, citing Ms May seeking delays to our departure from the EU, as well as the talks with Mr Corbyn.
