Brexit: Calls for progress on cross-party deal talks

The government says “progress needs to be made urgently” on Brexit talks with Labour – but that arranging time with the opposition has been “difficult”.

Senior figures from both sides have been trying to break the deadlock by agreeing a Brexit deal MPs can support.

No 10 said talks had “been difficult in some areas”, including “timetabling”.

But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the government “really needs to move on” and change its Brexit agreement to solve the impasse.
