    Prime Minister Theresa May is in "listening mode" and there is optimism that a Brexit deal can still be reached, the DUP has said after meeting the PM on Thursday morning.

    "She has a way through this... address the backstop in a satisfactory way," added Mr Dodds.

    Environment Secretary Michael Gove wants a "customs arrangement" for farmers after Brexit, according to environment minister George Eustice.

    Mr Eustice stood in for Mr Gove - who was in Number 10 discussing Brexit - in the House of Commons on Thursday morning.

    Labour MP David Drew raised the issue, saying: "The Irish Farmers Association made it very clear to me how vital it is to get a long-term customs arrangement in place as soon as possible and they say that's shared by farmers in Northern Ireland."

    In response, Mr Eustice said Mr Gove is speaking with opposition parties "to establish a consensus so we can indeed have a customs arrangement after March".

  9. Corbyn quizzed about new referendum

    Quizzed about a new referendum, Mr Corbyn said: "The question of another referendum is on the table."

    He says Labour "are running though a sequence of events".

    The first event was to vote down Mrs May's deal, which has been done.

    The second was the motion of no confidence, which failed.

    Mr Corbyn then states he would still like a general election.

    If that fails then he says a referendum is possible but it "cannot be a re-run" of the 2016 vote.

    "There has to be a discussion about the options we put forward," he says.

    On Wednesday, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) supported the government in a no-confidence vote.

  13. Corbyn: Labour could back new referendum

    Mr Corbyn says that "if the government remains intransigent", it does not call a general election or does not design a deal Labour can support, then it is time to look at other options.

    Those options, he says, include "that of a public vote".

    However, he makes clear a new referendum should be seen as a last resort.

  14. Corbyn: May should call new general election

    Mr Corbyn has now suggested Theresa May should call a general election.

    "We have a government in name only," he says.

  16. Corbyn: 'Take no deal off the table'

    Corbyn

    Mr Corbyn continues by saying the PM's offer of talks last night were a "stunt".

    "I will say again I'm quite happy to talk - but the starting point is that the threat of a disastrous no deal outcome is taken off the table."

    He adds: "Take no deal off the table now please, prime minister."

    If she doesn't, he says, it will show "she isn't serious" about getting a Brexit deal through the Commons.

    Corbyn

    Addressing a crowd in Hastings, Mr Corbyn begins by saying it is "really great" to be there and that Labour plans to "stop, challenge and change" the way south coast towns are run.

    On Brexit, he starts by getting the day of the debate wrong, suggesting it took place yesterday, rather than the day before.

    He goes on to describe her deal as "dead".

    "We have to realise the prime minister is completely unable to grasp what is happening," he says.
