Boris Johnson offered Theresa May a sliver of hope by saying he could said he could vote for her deal - if she can get a time limit on the backstop. But the former foreign secretary insisted the mechanism would need to expire before the next general election in 2022. The intervention came as the PM (pictured left returning to No10 today) moved to quell Tory fears that she is about to cave into Jeremy Corbyn's (pictured right) demand for a permanent customs union with the EU. Mrs May had caused panic in Tory ranks by appearing to open the door to a grand bargain. But Downing Street insisted the PM was 'absolutely clear' that she will not support the call from Labour. 'We must have our own independent trade policy,' her spokesman said. Mrs May sparked the furore by penning a letter to Mr Corbyn (pictured inset bottom) saying his call for the UK to stay in a customs union would hamper free trade deals – but stopped short of ruling it out. Mrs May also said the Tories were 'prepared to commit' to new laws to protect workers' rights after Brexit – a key demand of Labour and the unions. But the hints at a cross-party pact, which could frustrate opposition from hardline Tory Eurosceptics, risked causing a Cabinet meltdown - with several senior figures including Liz Truss and Liam Fox thought to be ready to quit.
