.jeremycorbyn has invited other opposition party leaders and senior MPs to a meeting next week to discuss efforts to prevent a no-deal Brexit
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is in agreement with Emmanuel Macron's stance on Brexit - after the French president insisted the Irish border backstop is"indispensable"., during which he told the prime minister the UK and EU"will not find a new withdrawal agreement within 30 days that will be very different from the existing one".
The French president also described the backstop arrangement - which Mr Johnson wants scrapped from the current withdrawal agreement - as"not just technical constraints or legal quibbling", but"genuine, indispensable guarantees" to preserve stability in Ireland and the integrity of the single market.Asked about Mr Macron's comments during a visit to a hill farm in Cumbria, Mr Corbyn replied:"I agree with President Macron.
"The Irish peace process was an enormous step forward - it's an international treaty, it's an international agreement."So, I think President Macron is quite right to say they're not going to allow a hard border to return in Ireland and I'm absolutely with him on that."
