Johnson meets Labour leader amid Brexit turmoil

Boris Johnson has met Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn amid uncertainty over what happens next with Brexit.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

The meeting comes after MPs rejected the PM's plan to fast-track a bill to implement his deal through Parliament.

During PMQs, Mr Johnson said MPs had "willed the end but not the means" and it was now the EU's decision whether to grant an extension beyond 31 October.

Mr Corbyn told the Commons MPs must "have the necessary time to improve on this worse-than-terrible treaty".

The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg says she understands nothing was agreed at the meeting on Wednesday morning.

Labour was keen to discuss a different timetable for the Brexit bill, while the PM wanted to know what Mr Corbyn would do if the EU refused to grant an extension, she added.
