Theresa May says she wants to meet Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to agree a plan on Britain's departure from the European Union.
But she insisted her withdrawal agreement - which was voted down by MPs last week - would remain part of the deal.
Mr Corbyn said he was "very happy" to meet Mrs May, and would ensure plans for a customs union and protection of workers' rights were on the table.
The cross-party talks offer has angered Tory Brexiteers, with former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson accusing ministers of "entrusting the final handling of Brexit to Labour".

Algeria's President resigns
Algeria's ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has resigned.
It comes after to six weeks of largely peaceful mass protests driven by youth and pressure from the powerful army against his 20-year rule. Hundreds took to the streets of the capital after the announcement of the 82-year-old's departure.
Earlier in the day, army chief of staff Lieutenant General Ahmed Gaed Salah demanded the veteran ruler, who has been long in poor health, be declared immediately unfit for office.
Abdelkader Bensalah, chairman of the upper house of parliament, will run the country for 90 days until elections are held.
