Brexit: Cross-party talks resume after Easter recess

Talks between the government and Labour on Brexit have resumed as MPs return to Westminster following the Easter break.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

Cabinet ministers are meeting senior opposition figures in an attempt to solve the impasse by finding a deal that could win the support of MPs.

But some Tory MPs are angry the talks with Labour are even taking place.

Leading backbencher Nigel Evans called on Theresa May to step down as prime minister "as soon as possible".

Cross-party meetings have been going on for a number of weeks after Mrs May's EU withdrawal deal was rejected for a third time by MPs.

Arriving for the talks at the Cabinet Office, shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said "fundamental issues" remained between Labour and ministers on a number of key issues.

"We've been exchanging correspondence with the government but now we want to know what is their position on the issues that remain between us," he said.

Sir Keir was accompanied by shadow chancellor John McDonnell, shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey and shadow environment secretary Sue Hayman.

Theresa May's de facto deputy David Lidington is expected to lead the talks for the government.
