UK: Labour puts May in tough spot as it backs amendment to keep UK in customs union - The Telegraph
|In a recently published article, The Guardian reported that Labour would support the amendment offered by rebel Tory MPs to keep Britain remains in a customs union after Brexit.
"The prime minister’s Brexit plans could be thrown into further disarray with two more pro-EU government ministers understood to be considering quitting their roles in order to back the move on Tuesday," The Guardian said and quoted a senior Labour source saying:
“We saw yesterday there is no majority for May’s Chequers’ agreement. But there is a majority for a customs union. Today parliament has the chance to change the course of the Brexit negotiations, protect jobs and the economy. Fingers crossed the Lib Dems turn up.”
