Theresa May: UK risks losing Brexit if compromise talks fail

British Prime Minister Theresa May warned Saturday that the United Kingdom risks reversing its exit from the European Union if the country's two major parties fail to agree on a compromise withdrawal deal on time.

The prime minister said her Conservatives and the opposition Labour party had agreed on the need to end free movement for EU citizens in the UK, protect British jobs and leave the bloc with a deal.

"That is the basis for a compromise that can win a majority in Parliament and winning that majority is the only way to deliver Brexit," she said.

May's warning came hours after Labour chief Jeremy Corbyn said he had not "noticed any great change in the government's position" and that he was still waiting for May to budge on her previous "red lines" for any Brexit deal.

Yet May is planning to offer UK membership in a customs arrangement with the EU in an effort to win Labour support for a new deal, according to The Sunday Times newspaper.

The UK risks severe economic disruption if it crashes out of the EU on April 12 without a deal.
