UK: Amendment A: Labour Brexit deal
The Labour frontbench has put down an amendment that would give parliament a say
on a Brexit deal the party could support, including a full customs union,
stronger single market alignment and more robust protection for the environment
and workers' rights.
The five demands on the amendment mirror those sent by Jeremy Corbyn in a letter
to Theresa May, spelling out changes the prime minister would need to seek in
order to gain Labour support.
The amendment is unlikely to pass and if it does not, the party has committed to
support any future amendments at the next voting opportunity, likely to be on 12
March.(The Guardian)
