The political rivals have now met for three straight days.
U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May and the leader of the main opposition party, Jeremy Corbyn, meet on Friday for the third consecutive day of talks in a bid to break the current Brexit deadlock.
"Crucially, the government stands ready to abide by the decision of the House. But to make this process work, the opposition would need to agree to this too." The problem for May, and the reason why she has been forced into talks, is that she cannot rely on the unanimous support of members of her own Conservative Party who are split between different versions of Brexit, and even no Brexit at all.
For any deal to emerge from the talks, May would likely have to break this previous promise and add the customs union to her withdrawal deal. Corbyn has publicly pressured May to state that she would support the will of Parliament on Brexit, suggesting that he himself would also support what lawmakers can find a majority on.But while a deal cooked up between Britain's two biggest parties may sound like sensible politics, many consider the chances of May and Corbyn emerging hand-in-hand as slim to none.
If agreeing a deal looks tricky enough, then passing it through their own lawmakers is also far from guaranteed.
