«Breaking News» Theresa May's workers' rights pledge could persuade 'up to 70 Labour MPs to back her deal'

Theresa May’s pledge to protect workers’ rights after Brexit could persuade up to 70 Labour MPs to back her deal, it was claimed last night.

Labour MP John Mann, who has led talks between his party’s members and the Government, said dozens of colleagues were against Jeremy Corbyn’s plan for a second referendum and could back Mrs May’s plan – if ministers offer enough reassurances.

The Prime Minister and Business Secretary Greg Clark are set to unveil a new ‘Workers’ Rights Bill’ next week as part of a package designed to woo Labour MPs.

Details are also expected of a £1.6billion fund for deprived towns, which critics have called a ‘bribe’ for Labour MPs in Brexit-supporting areas in the North and Midlands.

Mr Mann last night said the scale of the package from ministers would be vital in winning the support of Labour MPs, whose backing is needed to cancel out hardline Eurosceptics who would prefer No Deal.

‘This is critical because it is about shaping the kind of Brexit we have,’ he said. ‘There are more than 70 of us on the Labour side against a second referendum. 

They have to make a decision – are they going to support the only deal on the table, or are they going to allow a second referendum?’

MPs are scheduled to hold the key ‘meaningful vote’ on Mrs May’s deal on March 12. Downing Street yesterday played down rumours that the vote could be held a week early on March 5. 

A source said the chance of it being held early was ‘one per cent’, with Attorney General Geoffrey Cox having ‘a long way to go’ in his bid to secure legally-binding changes to the Irish backstop.

Mrs May’s decision this week to open the door to a Brexit delay has sparked fury on the Tory benches – with the resignation of agriculture minister George Eustice – but also appears to have focused minds on the choice facing Eurosceptic MPs.

A string of Brexiteer MPs, including Jacob Rees-Mogg, softened their demands this week, suggesting they could back Mrs May’s deal provided Mr Cox returns with legally-binding changes that mean the UK cannot be trapped in a customs union indefinitely.

Westminster sources last night suggested that Mrs May’s DUP allies – seen as the key to securing widespread Tory support – are also looking for ‘a ladder to climb down’ after opposing the PM’s deal in January.

Government sources confirmed Mrs May is to launch a fresh bid to woo Labour MPs, with one admitting ‘we are going to need a significant number of Labour MPs as well to have any chance of getting this through’.

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.
