Brexit news: Tory MPs warn Theresa May over Labour talks (Image: GETTY)
Cabinet ministers including Chris Grayling, Gavin Williamson and Liam Fox insisted that the talks with the Labour leader were damaging the party. In yet another blow to the Prime Minister, chairman of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady informed the Prime Minister that MPs want Mrs May to name a date for her departure according to the Daily Telegraph. In defence of the talks, Mrs May argued that despite Cabinet’s opinion, the Government had “to govern in the national interest”.
An official spokesman for the Prime Minister said: “The Prime Minister said discussions with Labour had been serious but had also been difficult in some areas, such as in relation to the timetable for the negotiations.
“The Prime Minister said the Government's position was that progress needed to be made urgently as it was vital to deliver on the result of the referendum and for the UK to leave the European Union as soon as possible.”
Home Secretary, Sajid Javid apparently warned Mrs May that negotiation between the two parties should not “tie the hand” of future Governments.
The talks between the Labour leader and Mrs May have so provided nothing to progress the current Brexit impasse.
