		</div><p>Theresa May is trying to “blackmail” MPs into backing her Brexit deal by running down the clock to prevent alternative plans being considered, Jeremy Corbyn claimed.</p>
<p>The Labour leader accused the British Prime Minister of risking a no-deal Brexit in order to keep the Conservative party together.<br />
Mr Corbyn, who has suffered a split in his own party – in part due to Brexit policy – called on the British Prime Minister to accept his offer of working on a “sensible” deal.</p>
<p>Addressing manufacturers’ organisation Make UK, formerly known as EEF, he said Labour’s plan – based on a customs union – “could win the support of Parliament, is be negotiated with the EU and help bring the country together”.</p>
<p>Mr Corbyn, who is due to hold talks with EU negotiator Michel Barnier on Thursday, said the Labour plan “has been widely welcomed as a way of breaking the impasse”.</p>
<p>He added: “If the Prime Minister is unable to adopt a sensible deal because it would split the Tories, then there needs to be a general election. Without it we will keep all options on the table, including the option of a public vote.</p>
<p>“The country cannot be taken over the cliff edge for the sake of Tory party unity.</p>
<blockquote><p>Instead of playing political games on Brexit, Labour should act in the national interest and deliver on the referendum result</p></blockquote>
<p>“The Government is running down the clock in an attempt to blackmail MPs with the threat of crashing out without a deal.”</p>
<p>Tory chairman Brandon Lewis accused Mr Corbyn of playing “political games” and said: “Being a member of the customs union would be a less desirable outcome than what we have already agreed with the EU and would stop the UK striking our own trade deals around the world – something Labour previously supported.</p>
<p>“The House of Commons has already voted against staying in a customs union as it wouldn’t fulfil the result of the referendum.</p>
<p>“Instead of playing political games on Brexit, Labour should act in the national interest and deliver on the referendum result.”</p>
