Theresa May will plead for help from Jeremy Corbyn this week to push through legislation needed to deliver Brexit.

Only a month after she saw voters reject her calls for a mandate to negotiate an exit from the European Union, the prime minister is expected to turn to her rival for his support.

Tomorrow she will make a direct appeal to opposition parties to ‘contribute’ not ‘criticise’ her policies after losing a majority in the Commons that saw the Tories strike a deal with the DUP.

According to the Telegraph, despite a loss in political stock the prime minister is determined not to soften her position on Brexit – including leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union.




Speaking at the launch of a review into modern working practices, the prime minister will say: ‘When I commissioned this report I led a majority government in the House of Commons. The reality I now face as Prime Minister is rather different.

‘In this new context, it will be even more important to make the case for our policies and our values, and to win the battle of ideas both in Parliament as well as in the country.

‘So I say to the other parties in the House of Commons… come forward with your own views and ideas about how we can tackle these challenges as a country.

‘We may not agree on everything, but through debate and discussion – the hallmarks of our Parliamentary democracy – ideas can be clarified and improved and a better way forward found.’

The prime minister’s appeal comes as the opposition parties prepare to unveil plans to table amendments to the Repeal Bill.

The Repeal Bill will be released on Thursday and transfers 12,000 EU laws and regulation into British statute.
