Theresa May has accused Labour of dragging its feet over cross-party Brexit talks as MPs return to Westminster after the Easter break.

The prime minister said the Labour Party was engaging in the talks in a “serious” way but said there were difficulties with scheduling the talks.

Jeremy Corbyn said the lack of progress was due to the government’s refusal to compromise.

“They cannot keep on just regurgitating what has already been emphatically rejected three times by Parliament, there’s got to be a change,” the Labour leader said.

Mrs May remains under considerable pressure from her own backbenchers, who remain largely dissatisfied with her leadership.

Officers of the 1922 backbench committee met on Tuesday evening to discuss changing the party’s rules.

A rule change could allow MPs to challenge Ms May’s position as leader as early as June.

Nigel Evans, the committee’s secretary said Theresa May should announce her resignation “today” in order to break the Brexit impasse.

“I hope she does accept the fact the call for her resignation now is growing into a clamour,” he said.

But prisons minister Rory Stewart backed Mrs May as “our best hope” of resolving Brexit.

He told BBC’s Today programme that “the problem is not the Prime Minister, the problem is Brexit”.
