Theresa May admits Britain COULD stay in customs union after Brexit and claims No Deal is impossible

THERESA May has hinted that Britain COULD stay in a customs union after Brexit where we would be tied to the EU forever – and that it’s almost impossible to leave with No Deal.

The Prime Minister refused to rule out a softer Brexit agreement as she admitted talks with Labour had been “constructive” and could produce a result.

She’s opened up discussions with Jeremy Corbyn’s party to try and come to an agreement which can sway over Labour MPs to vote for her deal.

But after weeks of talks they still haven’t been able to seal anything yet.

Mrs May told MPs on the powerful liaison committee this afternoon: “One of the discussions we have been having, is the whole question of customs arrangements.”

And she hinted that it could be called something different instead.

“Various terms are used. Sometimes people mean different terms to mean the same thing, sometimes it’s different approaches,” she admitted.

The PM was asked three times whether her plans with Labour involved a customs union – which the Opposition are pushing for – but she dodged the question.

And she said Parliament would likely block a No Deal if it was set to happen, too.

“I think is that Parliament will act to insist the UK Government is not willing to leave without a deal,” she said.

However, going for a soft Brexit in the form of a customs union, is sure to rip her warring party in two and cause irreparable damage to it.

Brexiteers will never forgive her for watering down our exit and tying us to EU rules for years to come.

And even more moderate Tories have slammed her for trying to do a deal with Mr Corbyn, who the party has repeatedly warned its voters to stay away from.

Britain shouldn’t stay in the EU indefinitely, she added, and we must not revoke Article 50 either.

She said he hopes “a deal can be done” to find a way to break through the Brexit deadlock.

“There are differences on issues but on many of the key areas – particularly on the Withdrawal Agreement – there is common ground.

“We know that we need to end this uncertainty and do it as soon as possible and I hope a deal can be done. We certainly approach this with an open mind.”

It was reported overnight that some Government ministers thought it would be better to do a deal with Labour than to not deliver Brexit at all.

If she can’t come to a deal by next week, the PM has plans for a series of votes in the Commons to see what MPs want her to do.

But this plan has already failed in the past as NO single plan got a majority of MPs behind it before.

Britain has until the end of October to cobble together an arrangement or we could leave with No Deal at all.

The PM said she didn’t think No Deal would happen, however.

She told MPs that the only real choice was still to pass a deal.
