Brexit Breaking News – Labour Brexit Spokesman: PM May Should Cancel The Vote On Her Brexit Deal
Theresa May has said MPs have “one last chance” to deliver Brexit, urging them to back what she called a “new deal”.
The key points of the PM’s revised plan are:
✅ A guarantee of a Commons vote on whether to hold another referendum on the government’s Brexit deal, with a promise to honour the outcome
✅ A vote on different customs options, including a government proposal for a temporary customs union for goods – what Mrs May called a “customs compromise”
✅ A legal obligation for the UK to “seek to conclude alternative arrangements” to replace the Northern Ireland backstop by the end of 2020.
✅ If the backstop does come into force, the bill would guarantee Northern Ireland remains aligned with the rest of the UK and remains in same customs territory
✅ Legislation to ensure workers rights are “every bit as good if not better” after Brexit and guarantees of no dilution in environmental standards
✅ A legal duty to seek changes to the political declaration on future relations with the EU
