Theresa May will take a final desperate gamble to deliver Brexit this week by offering Jeremy Corbyn three major concessions in a bid to force MPs to back a new deal.
The prime minister will show her hand on Tuesday, making a “big, bold” offer to the Labour leader which could split the Conservative Party down the middle.
The Sunday Times has learnt she will outline plans for a comprehensive but temporary customs arrangement with the EU lasting until the next general election, which Corbyn will be able to depict as a Tory cave-in to his demands.
May and her negotiating team will agree that Britain will also align with a wider range of EU single market regulations on goods. Finally, they will enshrine in law that the UK will mirror all EU legislation on workers’ rights.
“There are three main areas: customs, goods alignment and workers’ rights,” said one source involved in the talks. “The Conservative Party will have to suck up concessions on each of those.”
Aides say Tuesday’s meeting between the two sides will be the “moment of truth” when Downing Street decides whether a deal with Labour is possible or whether May must instead offer MPs a series of votes, in which a full-blown customs union is likely to triumph.
