News Daily: Cross-party Brexit talks to end without agreement, and 100 stabbed in UK this year
After MPs rejected Theresa May's Brexit deal for the third time in March, the prime minister said she would speak to Labour, to try to find a compromise. The BBC has learnedLabour wanted a permanent and comprehensive customs union with the EU after Brexit. But some Conservatives felt this didn't honour the result of the referendum - and would stop the UK negotiating its own trade deals with the wider world.
The next Brexit vote is due in the week of 3 June, when MPs will vote on the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill - which is legislation needed to implement Mrs May's deal. If that bill is defeated, Mrs May is expected to step down. Meanwhile, the public will vote in European elections in six days' time. ReadOne hundred people have been fatally stabbed in the UK so far this year, according to BBC research.
But the paragraph tucked into the short formal letter from Sir Graham Brady to Tory MPs all but marks the end of Theresa May's premiership and the beginning of the official hunt for the next leader of the country. It confirms in black and white that after the next big vote, in the first week of June, the prime minister will make plans with the party for choosing a successor.And the conversation that's been arranged won't just be a gentle chat about what to do next.Most of the papers focus on the likely end of Theresa May's time as prime minister.
