  11. Corbyn and May in deadlock over talkspublished at 20:46 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2019

    Jeremy Corbyn will not meet with the prime minister for "substantive talks" until Theresa May rules out a no-deal Brexit.

    Mrs May invited leaders of all parties to have individual discussions with her on the way ahead for Brexit - starting tonight.

    But in his response after the vote in the Commons, Mr Corbyn said Mrs May must rule out a no-deal Brexit before any "positive discussions" could take place.

    A Downing Street spokesperson confirmed that Mrs May would not take no-deal off the table.

  16. Cable: 'No deal has to come off the table'published at 20:24 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2019

    BBC News Channel

    Sir Vince Cable

    Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable tells the BBC that it would be "silly" to refuse the prime minister's offer of talks but his party had its own conditions.

    "I’ve made it absolutely clear that no deal has to be taken off the table and there has to be a serious discussion about a People’s Vote," he says.

    The pressure is now also on Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Sir Vince says.

    He says: "He has got to change his position and come behind the People’s Vote, otherwise he will be seen as, and he will be, a handmaiden of Brexit."
