The pair sit down for talks after the PM's dramatic offer to meet with the Labour leader to break the logjam.
Two ministers quit the government and a host of backbenchers used Prime Minister's Questions to express their anger.The close ally of Boris Johnson said in his resignation letter to Mrs May:"It now seems that you and your cabinet have decided that a deal cooked up with a Marxist who has never once in his political life put British interests first is better than no-deal. I profoundly disagree with this approach.
Chris Heaton-Harris quit as a Brexit minister, saying his role in the department overseeing no-deal preparations had been made"irrelevant" by Mrs May's determination to avoid such a scenario at all costs."I think we both want to deliver leaving the EU with a deal," she said."I think we both want to protect jobs. I think we both want to ensure that we end free movement. I think we both recognise the importance of the withdrawal agreement.
As well as holding talks with Mr Corbyn, the prime minister met with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford.There was a glimmer of good news for Mrs May, with MPs failing in a bid to take control of the Commons timetable on Monday for a third round of indicative votes on Brexit alternatives.
The parliamentary reprieve could be short-lived, however, with MPs currently debating a bill from Sir Oliver Letwin and Yvette Cooper which would force the prime minister to seek a further Brexit delay to avoid a no-deal exit on 12 April.Frontbencher Emily Thornberry has made it clear she wants there to be a public vote on any deal that is approved by parliament.
