UK's opposition Corbyn discuss to break Brexit impasse with lawmakers

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of Britain's main opposition Labour Party, held cross-party talks with four lawmakers who support a close economic relationship with the European Union and they pledged to work together to break the Brexit impasse, a Labour spokesman said on Tuesday. Corbyn held discussions with Conservative lawmakers Nick Boles and Oliver Letwin and Labour politicians Lucy Powell and Stephen Kinnock, all supporters of a plan known as Common Market 2.0, which would keep Britain in the European Union's single market.

"All participants pledged to work together and with others across parliament to find a Commons majority for a close economic relationship with the EU to break the Brexit impasse and bring the country together," Labour said in a statement. "They discussed how to build greater support on areas of agreement between Labour's alternative plan and Common Market 2.0 and find possible areas of compromise."
