After talks with opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on Tuesday evening, May announced that MPs would vote on legislation to implement the Brexit deal in the week starting 3 June.

LONDON – Theresa May has set the stage for a fourth showdown with parliament over her EU withdrawal deal next month, which could also be her last act as Britain's prime minister.

Unwilling to end more than four decades of EU membership without new arrangements in place, she has delayed Brexit twice, most recently to 31 October. May is also under intense pressure to fulfil her promise to MPs to deliver Brexit and then stand aside for a new leader. But progress has been slow. May's spokesperson described Tuesday's talks as "constructive" but Labour said it needed "further movement from the government".

Talks will continue Wednesday among officials, and Labour warned that without a cross-party agreement, it would not back the bill in June.Labour is struggling to maintain its finely balanced position on Brexit, promising to both deliver on the referendum but also to keep Britain close to the EU.
