Jeremy Corbyn will meet Michel Barnier after his offer of support to Theresa May if she keeps the UK in a customs union.
The Labor leader rejected the Prime Minister's plan, but said he could support a "reasonable" deal on Northern Ireland, jobs and rights at work.
MP Barry Gardiner told the ITV in Peston that the offer was sincere and that the party would "bow to the red lines" if the Prime Minister did the same.
But Health Secretary Matt Hancock said Brexit could not trust Labor.
And Interior Minister Sajid Javid said that talking about a referendum on the outcome of the Brexit talks – that Labor said they should remain an option – was "totally useless" to get the best deal for Great Britain.
But illustrating the divisions within the Conservatives, his predecessor, Amber Rudd, told ITV in Peston that a new public vote was "absolutely" preferable to the UK leaving the EU next March without an agreement.

And Vice President, Nadine Dorries, said that Ms. May should resign while she was "handcuffed" to the Checkers case and that she was not communicating the benefits of Brexit.
The union leader met for the last time with Mr Barnier, who is leading the negotiations on behalf of the 27 other EU members, in July 2017.
EU officials said the timing of Thursday's meeting, just days before the start of the Conservative Party, was a coincidence and pointed out that this was not part of the negotiations.
The meeting coincides with Mr Corbyn's trip to the Belgian capital, where a place was renamed in honor of Jo Cox, the Labor MP killed in the Brexit referendum.
The Prime Minister is increasingly in a hurry to rethink his approach after European leaders warned that key elements of his Checkers plan, which would keep the UK tightly with the EU in trade in goods, would only be not viable.
About 40 conservative Brexiteers said they would oppose his project if it was a vote in Parliament.

In his keynote speech in Liverpool, Corbyn said the Labor Party would also vote against any Checkers-based deal because it would be extremely unlikely to meet the party's six tests.
But he said that if the Prime Minister brought an agreement that "includes a customs union and no difficult border in Ireland", which protects jobs, workers' rights and environmental and consumer standards, he would get his support.
The shadow international trade secretary, Barry Gardiner, said that the offer was not a trick and that Labor was willing to compromise and "bend our own red lines for get an agreement "if specific conditions were met.
Ms May rejected any form of customs union, saying she would prevent the UK from signing trade agreements with other countries and setting its own tariffs.
Adam Fleming, a reporter for the BBC in Brussels, said the Labor Party had clarified its position on Brexit and that it had been a chance for Jeremy Corbyn to explain it to the EU's chief negotiator.
The offer of opposition to stay in a customs union and maintain high standards is much closer to the EU's favorite outcome than the Prime Minister's proposals, he added.
Diplomats from 27 other EU members were informed on Wednesday of block planning for a Brexit without agreement, following a leak of documents claiming that the job had to intensify because uncertainty about the possibility of a final agreement.
