Labour's Starmer: Party Will 'Vote In The National Interest' On Any EU Deal

UK

In PMQs, Leader of the Opposition Sir Keir Starmer says that if the PM comes back from Brussels with a deal that his Labour party will 'vote in the national interest', potentially hinting that he would instruct his MPs to support any agreement to avoid a no-deal Brexit.

  • Should Labour (or at least most of its MPs) back a potential Brexit deal it would ensure its passage through the Commons even if there was a significant rebellion from Brexiteer Conservative MPs.
  • However, for the PM relying on Labour for the passage of a Brexit deal could do significant damage to Johnson's position within his own party.
  • When Johnson's predecessor Theresa May mooted a similar prospect for the Withdrawal Agreement during her tenure it severely weakened her image with her own MPs and was seen as a further step towards her eventual ousting as leader.
