Brexit minister Stephen Barclay said that Britain’s Conservative government would accept parliament’s choosing a so-called ‘soft’ Brexit after failing to secure backing for Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal.
Prime Minister May will meet opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn later on Wednesday to thrash out a Brexit compromise, a gamble that could finally see a European Union Withdrawal deal agreed but also tear the Conservative party apart.
After her EU withdrawal deal was rejected three times by lawmakers, with parliament and her Conservative Party hopelessly divided over Brexit, the PM said, she would reach out to Corbyn in a bid to break the impasse.
