Theresa May sets deadline for Brexit compromise talks with Labour

— May 1, 2019
Labour's leadership have been criticised after they announced that the party's manifesto for the European election will not include a firm pledge to hold a People's Vote.
The main opposition Labour Party agonised Tuesday over whether to back a second European Union membership referendum as it campaigns in a European Parliament election that is taking place in just over just three weeks.
A new poll has put the Conservatives behind Labour, the Brexit party and Change UK as voters prepare for the European elections nearly three years since 2016's vote to quit the EU.
The decision is a setback for campaigners who had hoped to use the European elections as a springboard for change.
But Mr. Watson denied "storming out" of the meeting, which was raised by Pippa Crerar, Daily Mail Political Editor, with the deputy leader stating that she had received an "inaccurate briefing" and that he had "politely asked" if the shadow cabinet was going to see the draft and was told "no".
Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price, whose party has called for a People's Vote, said that Labour had "managed a people's fudge".
That says the party will support a second referendum, but only if it can't have its preferred options of an improved Brexit divorce deal or a national election.
Microsoft reports £23.7bn in Q3 2019 revenue
The company once relied on its Windows operating system for much of its revenues, but this now accounts for just 18% of its sales. Microsoft's intelligent-cloud unit recorded the biggest growth of the quarter, up some 22 percent from the same period of 2018.
It was sent to the First Minister, Mark Drakeford, and Mick Antoniw AM who represents Welsh Labour on the United Kingdom party's ruling body.
Their concerns come amid fears the Conservatives face heavy losses in the local elections on Thursday as voters vent their fury at the Government's failure to leave the European Union, as promised, on March 29.
A Labour source said: "The NEC agreed the manifesto which will be fully in line with Labour's existing policy to support Labour's alternative plan and if we can't get the necessary changes to the government's deal, or a general election, to back the option of a public vote".
Labour took 22 per cent of the vote, while the Greens and Change UK both had 10 per cent each.
