Jeremy Corbyn refuses to meet PM until a no deal is 'off the table'

The leader of the Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn, has refused to take part in cross-party talks and has demanded the Prime Minister takes a No Deal ‘off the table’

Mr Corbyn delivered the speech in Hastings, a day after Theresa May’s government survived a no-confidence vote by the Labour leader.

The British Prime Minister is meeting with various political party leaders to help her find a consensus on Brexit before MPs vote again on her Brexit deal on the 29th January.

If a no deal brexit is off the table then the EU really will have the UK by the nuts for this deal and any future deal!

[kingaling]

Taking No Deal off the table publicly would be so mind numbingly stupid that I can't even believe it has been suggested. We would be throwing away our biggest bargaining chip and the EU would truly have us by the balls. We might not be willing to leave without a deal but we can't let the EU know that.

The people voted to leave, they didn't vote for a bad deal they voted to leave without a deal if came to it.

No deal means Brexit. We voted Brexit so bring it on

Looks like the woman behind Jeremy has been eating for the many, not the few.

[yeovil]

Only deal that woman behind him is interested in is a Tesco's Meal deal!

[peterking]

I wondered were all the pies & donuts went!!

[Drmicky]

Go Jeremy! May should quite while she's ahead and acknowledge the fact that she lacks the charisma to convince people to back her plan.

[LeonsCorner.]

Why are people so blind! Jeremy Corbyn is for the people ffs!

[ivoteforlabourcoztheyhavea]

No Deal Brexit would spiral the country into confusion and chaos.

[proselytizingorthodoxpente]

Corbyn reading off a list of things he would rather spend £4.8 billion on than preparing for a no deal Brexit. Not realising that a no deal Brexit would automatically save the country £40+ billion by not paying the EU a penny when it leaves.

[Sylvander]

As an overseas observer maybe I'm not understanding something. If Parliament can't agree a deal, does that not automatically mean "No Deal"?

[edwardbradley]

Seems he only has his career at heart and not the wishes of the people

[defaultdefault]

If he takes 'No Deal' off the table, then he is ignoring the will of the UK electorate. No deal is written into article 50 and is the default outcome of Brexit in the event of no deal.

How did Mr Gove put it last night? Ah yes..."Present but not involved". Corbyn is doing it again lol

[dasaggropop]

good luck finding a model that suits the whole country.

[chiffmonkey]

This man doesn't understand negotiation 101

[MrMwhiting]

Leave means leave. Sign the UK open petition for a no deal Brexit 337, 154 MBGA

[SuperMarley]

So he doesn't want a deal, or no deal, so what does he want? No deal is not an option, it's the default. Mps voted for that default if there wasn't a real deal.

the old no man is an island approach. He's probably right about that.
