BORIS Johnson today blasted Theresa May's soft Brexit talks with Jeremy Corbyn - warning they will scupper our EU exit.

The top Brexiteer's blast came as the Tories were bitterly divided over whether to accept a customs union as the price of cutting a Brexit deal.

Talks between Mrs May and Labour are on hold after negotiations broke down last week - but they could restart as soon as today.

The two sides hope to reach a compromise deal which could see Britain stay in the EU customs union after Brexit.

Today the PM summoned ministers for a series of briefings in No10 ahead of a possible announcement of the revised agreement.

But Boris hit out at the plan and claimed it would sell out Leave voters.

He wrote in the Daily Telegraph: "In order to get Corbyn onside, the Government is apparently willing to abandon the cardinal principle and central logic of Brexit.

"If the UK were to commit to remaining in the customs union, it would make a total and utter nonsense of the referendum result.

"We would be out of the EU, but in many ways still run by the EU. It would be the worst of both worlds, not just now but forever."

Senior ministers are split over whether the PM should compromise with Mr Corbyn or hold firm on her red lines.

Last night Solicitor General Robert Buckland said: "It’s not perfect, but frankly in this particular hung Parliament none of us can get perfection.

"Something approximating a customs arrangement or customs union I think would be the most likely outcome."

But Aid Secretary Penny Mordaunt insisted that "having an independent trade policy" is one of the key goals of Brexit.

Labour broke off the talks on Friday night saying they were frustrated at the Government's refusal to rewrite the existing "political declaration" on the future trade deal between Britain and the EU.

Yesterday Mrs May launched a public appeal to get backing for her negotiations with a video filmed on her sofa.

Jeremy Hunt said today that the Government is keen to push on with the talks, saying: "We are doing absolutely everything we can to try and get a resolution to get Brexit over the line.

"In our system it is very, very difficult for Theresa May to open talks with someone like Jeremy Corbyn - but she's doing that because she is totally and utterly determined to deliver Brexit for the British people.

"We're going into these talks sincerely and we'll have to see what the outcome is."

Keir Starmer, the Shadow Brexit Secretary, said: "There aren’t any scheduled talks yet but no doubt things will develop today. The ball’s in the Government’s court, we need to see what they come back with."

The Prime Minister was hoping to hold a fresh set of Brexit votes in the Commons this week ahead of an emergency EU summit on Wednesday.

But instead she is travelling to Berlin and Paris to hold talks with Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron.
