BREAKING: He says May is risking 'the calamity of a Corbyn government'
A Tory MP has quit as minister for Wales and government whip telling Theresa May she risks failing to deliver Brexit and prevent ‘the calamity of a Corbyn government’.
Jacob Rees-Mogg described the offer as ‘deeply unsatisfactory’ and accused Mrs May of planning to collaborate with ‘a known Marxist’.Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson said: ‘It is very disappointing that the Cabinet has decided to entrust the final handling of Brexit to Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.’
Theresa May is expected to meet Jeremy Corbyn for talks in an attempt to ‘break the logjam’ over Brexit The leaders’ meeting is expected to take place as a cross-party group of senior MPs launches a separate attempt to force the PM to stop a no-deal Brexit by tabling legislation requiring her to delay Britain’s withdrawal beyond April 12.
The single-clause Cooper Bill requires the Prime Minister to table her own motion seeking MPs’ approval for an extension to the Article 50 process of Brexit talks to a date of her choosing. European Parliament Brexit co-ordinator Guy Verhofstadt, who had said he thought a no-deal Brexit was ‘nearly inevitable’, welcomed Mrs May’s offer of talks with Mr Corbyn.
