European capitals have been beckoning UK-based companies with sops to relocate while Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday insisted that talks were on with EU leaders on a deal that will win support of UK parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labour and ruling Conservative MPs questioned May\u2019s claim that talks were on when top EU leaders had categorically ruled out any re-negotiation of the withdrawal agreement that was voted down in the House of Commons in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy getting the changes we need to the backstop; by protecting and enhancing workers\u2019 rights and environmental protections; and by enhancing the role of Parliament in the next phase of negotiations I believe we can reach a deal that this House can support\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn reflected the frustration of businesses and others by saying that \u201cour country is facing the biggest crisis in a generation, and yet this Prime Minister continues to run down the clock\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
