Jeremy Corbyn has said he will back giving the British people a final say on Brexit in a new referendum if party members vote for it at Labour’s conference this week. The Labour leader said that while he had not called for it up to now he had been elected to “empower” members and would not “walk away from it” if they demanded a new vote.

British Prime Minister Theresa May said Friday the European Union must come up with an alternative to her Brexit proposals, noting that talks had reached an impasse after bloc leaders had rejected her plans without explaining why. "It's not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counter proposals," May said in a televised statement.

If Theresa May hoped that a two-day summit with European leaders in the birthplace of Mozart would bring harmony to the fraught Brexit process, she will have left sorely disappointed. A lavish dinner in the opulent setting of the Felsenreitschul theater in Salzburg on Wednesday evening failed to smooth the way. By Thursday, there wasn't much left but bitterness and rancour. Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, said key aspects of Brexit proposals presented by May "will not work" in their current form.

Emmanuel Macron has branded the leaders of the campaign for Brexit “liars”, in an extraordinary attack at the close of the Salzburg summit. The Leave victory was “pushed by those who predicted easy solutions,” the French president said, adding: “Those people are liars. They left the next day so they didn’t have to manage it.”

A former chief of the UK’s naval staff has said the nation does not have enough ships to patrol its waters, warning of “disastrous” consequences after Brexit. Lord West of Spithead , former first sea lord, said the “insufficient” number of ships had been exposed by recent clashes between British and French fishermen over scallops. Rocks and smoke bombs were hurled at British fishing vessels in the English Channel during skirmishes on Tuesday. French mariners are angry about a domestic ban preventing them from harvesting the scallop-rich region while British boats have free rein to fish.

BBC editors and correspondents unpick the detail in the government's "no-deal" documents.

The beleaguered government of British Prime Minister Theresa May is proposing that the UK parliament should break for summer five days earlier than planned, in a move that has been criticized as a desperate attempt to ease the pressure on her leadership. Members of Parliament will vote on whether to start their summer recess five days early -- beginning this Thursday instead of next Tuesday. They would not return to work until September 4.

British Prime Minister Theresa May has warned there may be “no Brexit at all” because of lawmakers’ attempts to undermine her plan to leave the European Union. “My message to the country this weekend is simple: we need to keep our eyes on the prize,” May wrote in the Mail on Sunday newspaper. “If we don’t, we risk ending up with no Brexit at all.”

The president suggested not all of his comments about May were printed...

Boris Johnson has launched a scathing attack on Theresa May's Brexit strategy, saying the "dream is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt". In his letter resigning as foreign secretary, he said the prime minister was leading the UK into a "semi-Brexit" with the "status of a colony". His resignation came hours after Brexit Secretary David Davis quit the cabinet. Mrs May said she was "sorry - and a little surprised" by Mr Johnson's move after his apparent support on Friday.

Brexit Secretary David Davis has resigned from the UK government.

Mr Davis was appointed to the post in 2016 and was responsible for negotiating the UK's EU withdrawal. Junior minister Steven Baker quit shortly after Mr Davis - as Mrs May prepares to face MPs and peers later.
