		</div><p>Theresa May has issued a rallying cry to MPs urging them to support cross-party efforts to “break the deadlock” and get a Brexit deal through the Commons.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister said she understood why some of her colleagues found the decision to hold talks with Labour “uncomfortable”, and admitted it was not what she wanted either.</p>
<p>But she said the crushing blow voters delivered on both parties at the local elections had given “fresh urgency” to the need to end the impasse.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>Mrs May urged Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to work with her to reach a deal, writing in the Mail on Sunday: “To the leader of the opposition, I say this: let’s listen to what the voters said in the elections and put our differences aside for a moment. Let’s do a deal.”</p>
<p>She said: “I negotiated with the EU what I believe is a very good deal for the UK – a deal which allows us to genuinely take back control of our money and our laws.</p>
<p>“The free movement of people will end – giving us control of our own borders for the first time in decades.</p>
<p>We will keep negotiating, and keep trying to find a way through</p>
<p>“However, I could not persuade enough of my colleagues to vote for the Withdrawal Agreement and, regrettably, I have to accept there is no sign of that position changing.”</p>
<p>She continued: “Since then, the Government has been in talks with the Opposition to try to find a unified, cross-party position.</p>
<p>“I understand many of my colleagues find this decision uncomfortable. Frankly, it is not what I wanted, either.</p>
<p>“But we have to find a way to break the deadlock – and I believe the results of the local elections give fresh urgency to this.</p>

<p>“We will keep negotiating, and keep trying to find a way through. Because the real thing that matters now is delivering Brexit and moving on to all the other issues people care about.</p>
<p>“The longer that takes, the greater the risk we will not leave at all. We need to get out of the EU and get a deal over the line.”</p>
<p>It comes as Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said a deal between the two parties could be done in the new few days, telling reporters at her party’s conference in Aberdeen: “We are getting closer and closer.</p>
<p>“There’s not that much between the two parties as I understand it from people in the room.”</p>
<p>With talks between Labour and the Tories expected to resume early next week, the Sunday Times reported that Mrs May was prepared to give ground in three areas: customs, goods alignment and workers’ rights.</p>
<p>The paper said the British Prime Minister would put forward plans for a comprehensive but temporary customs arrangement with the EU that would last until the next general election.</p>
<p>It came as more than 100 opposition MPs from five parties wrote to the British PM and Mr Corbyn to say they would not support a “Westminster stitch-up” and would vote against a customs union unless it is put to a referendumt.<br />
The MPs said: “The very worst thing we could do at this time is a Westminster stitch-up whether over the British PM’s deal or another deal. This risks alienating both those who voted leave in 2016 and those who voted remain.”</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage warned Mrs May against agreeing a customs deal with Mr Corbyn, telling the Telegraph: “If the Tories do a deal with Labour on the customs union they will be going into coalition with the Opposition against the people.”</p>
<p><!--Ads5--></p>
<p>Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 committee of Tory backbenchers, told the same paper that staying in a customs union could lead to a “catastrophic split” in the Conservative Party at a time when the opposition is led by “dangerous extremists”.</p>
