In a letter published this morning on his Twitter account, Corbyn He expressed his frustration at the "growing weakness and instability" of the executive, saying the negotiations "have gone as far as possible". He added that, although the negotiations were conducted with good intentions by both parties, they would not be pursued so much because of the lack of common ground and the question of whether a May's successor would maintain the bargaining agreements. Theresa May has promised to leave 10 Downing Street next month and there is no certainty about her replacement.
Corbyn wrote: "The government's position has become increasingly unstable and its authority has eroded, and often the proposals of its negotiating team have been publicly inconsistent with the statements of other cabinet members . "
These negotiations began in early April and aimed to reach an agreement on Brexit, signed for October this year. Since January, the British parliament has rejected three times the text signed in November by the Prime Minister with 27 European partners.
For his part, the Prime Minister's spokesman said the negotiations "have made real progress on some issues, such as workers' rights and environmental protection, but it is clear that we can not not reach an agreement ". In particular, he said that discussions had been complicated with regard to customs and the holding of a second referendum.
Corbyn added that the May government only remained to lead to a parliamentary vote, but that the Labor Party was waiting for any proposals that the Conservative government would like to add to break the blockade imposed on Brexit. In addition, he said that he has not ruled out the possibility of a second referendum. But unlike the first, "it would not be a referendum in terms of 2016, it would be a referendum to avoid a catastrophic exit and without the agreement of the European Union".
May had previously promised that he would resign only after the agreement of the first stage of a Brexit plan. However, there is almost unanimous expectation that parliamentarians will reject the bill again that week.
