According to the Corbyn is May focused on getting through an agreement through the house of commons next week, but noted at the same time that it remains ”very many talks” before the two can come up with something.
“the Prime minister must put forward something that is in the direction that the Labour party is on the way and that the parliament can accept,” said Jeremy Corbyn, in a tv interview.
A spokesperson for the prime minister confirmed in a statement that the talks had been ”constructive” and that both sides showed ”flexibility and willingness” to resolve the current impasse.
the pressure on the Corbyn is the party of skuggminister in Brexitfrågor, Keir Starmer, who on Monday made it clear how he wants to see the continuation of Brexit:

to doubt that the two leaders will be able to agree on a common way forward. Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, who want another referendum, said she would be ”surprised and very disappointed” if the Labour party went along with the agreement that Theresa May looks to want to push through.
I am a bit concerned that something will now be rushed back and that Scotland’s interests are threatened. A customs union is not enough. The scottish economy need to be able to attract workers from all over Europe.

chairman Jean-Claude Juncker did on Wednesday clear that the Uk does not have as many options remain:
• the Uk will not get another short extension of the reconsideration period.
• If it becomes the issue of an extension, it will be a longer period of time.
– On april 12, is the optimal date for an approval of utträdesavtalet of the house of commons, said Juncker to the european Parliament.
– If there is an approval to its, then there is no opportunity to further a shorter extension, said Juncker at the same time that he promised to work on a solution that will give the british an agreement.
If there would be a avtalslös solution, the EU will immediately impose customs controls for all british goods from cars to agricultural products.
