«Breaking News» Tory and Labour MPs hold cross-party talks to delay Brexit to avoid a no-deal

Tory and Labour MPs have reportedly been holding cross-party talks in a bid to push back Brexit. 

Senior ministers have warned it is vital to delay the Brexit date - March 29 - until at least July to avoid a no-deal. 

This comes as Jean-Claude Juncker called on the UK to 'get its act together' over Brexit, branding some Britons 'entirely unreasonable' for expecting Brussels to put forward a solution.

The European Commission president also rejected claims of a plot to keep the UK in the EU 'by all possible means' and revealed he fears the majority of MPs 'deeply distrust' both the EU and Theresa May.

Cabinet Brexiteer Liam Fox, meanwhile, today said the chances of Britain leaving the European Union will be little more than '50-50' if the Prime Minister's deal is rejected by Parliament.

According to The Observer, cabinet ministers are understood to have discussed the option of a delay with senior backbench MPs in both the main parties.  

Calling for a second referendum, Tory Remainer Dominic Grieve, said a decision 'needs to be taken'. 

The former attorney general added: 'Parliament is, however, deadlocked and appears incapable of passing any form of deal whatsoever. 

'It is our responsibility as parliamentarians, therefore, to recognise the nature of the impasse and give the choice back to the people in order to avoid a cliff-edge Brexit' -

The chances of Brexit will be no more than 50-50 if MPs vote down Theresa May's withdrawal deal, pro-Leave minister Liam Fox (pictured in Downing Street earlier this month) has said

International Trade Secretary Liam Fox warned fellow MPs that failure to pass Mrs May's deal would be 'incendiary' and said it was 'a matter of honour' for them to support the PM.

MPs are due to vote on the Withdrawal Agreement in the week of January 7 after Mrs May, facing the prospect of a significant defeat, pulled the original date of December 11.

However the bid to buy more time to secure key concessions on the Irish backstop, the key flashpoint for DUP and Brexiteer detractors of the deal, appeared to falter when her fellow leaders refused to change the legal text of the agreement.

The PM said talks would continue, although the EU has repeatedly warned negotiations over the withdrawal agreement will not be reopened.

Should MPs reject it when they vote in the coming weeks it could raise the prospect of no-deal and with it the risk of heavy economic consequences for the UK and EU, or a second referendum on Brexit. 

A defeat for Theresa May (pictured at church on Christmas Day) could lead to a no-deal Brexit, a confidence vote in the House of Commons or a possible general election

Dr Fox told the Sunday Times that Brexit will only be '100% certain' if the House of Commons backs the Prime Minister's deal in a crunch vote next month.

The International Trade Secretary warned fellow MPs that failure to pass Mrs May's deal would be 'incendiary' and said it was 'a matter of honour' for them to support the PM.

Earlier this month, Sir Keir Starmer used an emergency Commons debate to appeal to ministers to take a no-deal Brexit 'off the table'.

The shadow Brexit secretary insisted Labour MPs would not be forced into accepting Theresa May's deal in order to prevent a no-deal scenario as he accused the Government of 'running down the clock' on Brexit.

Sir Keir went on to pay tribute to Tory MPs such as Nick Boles and Anna Soubry, who said they would resign the whip if the Government did pursue a no deal, adding: 'I suspect they're not alone.' 

Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd insisted she did not want a so-called People's Vote and did not think the country wanted to be asked again for its views on Brexit.

But she backed the idea of an indicative vote to find which Brexit options MPs would be prepared to back if Theresa May's deal is rejected when it returns to Parliament for a crunch vote in January.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
