Labour could back Brexit bill if second referendum attached, says Starmer
Shadow Brexit secretary goes further than party leader in saying Labour could back deal
Labour will try to attach a customs union and second referendum to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal, setting up a parliamentary battle over the legislation this week.
Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, suggested Labour could vote for Johnson’s deal if a second referendum was added to the withdrawal agreement bill, despite the party’s fundamental objections to the terms of the UK’s proposed departure from the EU.
