THERESA May was accused of time-wasting yesterday, after Downing Street made it clear the Prime Minister wasn’t going to drop any of her Brexit red lines.

Immediately after defeating the attempt to bring down her government, the Tory leader promised to hold “constructive” meetings with senior parliamentarians in a bid to “find solutions that are negotiable” that could win over a majority of MPs.

But there was little sign of compromise from No 10 yesterday, with May saying no to any possibility of a second referendum or a customs union. She also refused to accept that extending Article 50 was necessary and claimed it would be impossible to rule out the possibility of a no-deal Brexit.

The Prime Minister has just 10 days to find a workable plan B. Though she’ll go to the Commons with an announcement on Monday, MPs will now have to wait until January 29 to vote.

Crucially, MPs will be able to amend that motion, which could see Parliament take control of Brexit negotiations or push for a new referendum.

May met with the SNP’s Ian Blackford and LibDem leader Vince Cable on Wednesday night. She met yesterday with Plaid Cymru’s Adam Price, co-leader of the Green Party Caroline Lucas and the leader of the DUP Arlene Foster.

Jeremy Corbyn has refused to meet with May and has banned his MPs from seeing the Prime Minister until a no-deal Brexit is taken off the table.

In a letter to Corbyn, the Tory leader said it would be impossible to take a no-deal Brexit off the table as it is “not within the Government’s power”.

She said that “under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union and the Withdrawal Act 2018, we will leave the EU without a deal on March 29 unless Parliament either agrees a deal with the EU or the UK revokes Article 50 and chooses to stay in the EU permanently.

“So there are two ways to avoid no deal: either vote for a deal, in particular a withdrawal agreement, that has been agreed with the EU, or to revoke Article 50 and overturn the referendum result.

“I believe it would be wrong to overturn the referendum result.”

In response, Corbyn’s spokeswoman said May was in denial over the scale of her defeat.

Nicola Sturgeon also hit out at May’s unwillingness to bend and said the SNP “won’t be complicit in more time-wasting”.

Scottish Secretary David Mundell told BBC Radio Scotland that “everything was on the table” for cross-party talks.

He insisted the Prime Minister was willing to discuss “anything” in talks with other parties, but they would “not be a cover for trying to stop Brexit”. However, the Tory minister also excluded “arrangements that seek to stop Brexit”, including a people’s vote.

Sturgeon responded in a tweet: “So everything is not on the table. PM’s offer of talks is a promise to listen, but only if we all agree with her. @theSNP won’t be complicit in more time-wasting. Rule out no deal, be prepared to extend Art 50 and agree to at least consider another referendum – then we’ll talk.”

Mundell also confessed that he had “not anticipated the scale” of Tuesday’s defeat, that saw May’s deal rejected by 432 to 202.
