Labour spox on Corbyn's talks with May:

"We have had constructive exploratory discussions about how to break the Brexit deadlock.

"We have agreed a programme of work between our teams to explore the scope for agreement."

Meetings to continue tonight & tomorrow, I understand.

Politicians in the meetings:

Theresa May, David Lidington, Stephen Barclay, Julian Smith
Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer, Rebecca Long Bailey, Nick Brown

Tory and Labour teams are set to have a planning meeting tonight and technical discussions throughout tomorrow.

Downing St spokesperson says "talks were constructive, with both sides showing flexibility and a commitment to bring the current Brexit uncertainty to a close."

Each side has assembled negotiating teams for a full day of talks tomorrow, I understand. Sounds quite positive...

BUT Corbyn says that while the meeting with the PM today was “useful,” there “has not been as much change as I expected.”

Jeremy Corbyn’s remarks in full: “There hasn’t been as much change as I expected but we will have further discussions tomorrow to explore technical issues.

“... I also raised the option of a public vote to prevent crashing out or leaving on a bad deal.”
