LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has written to Prime Minister Theresa May, offering to support her Brexit deal if she makes five legally binding commitments – including joining a customs union.
Below are Labour’s five demands for supporting her deal:
– A permanent customs union. This would include a say in future trade deals
– Close alignment with the EU’s single market. This would be underpinned by shared institutions and obligations
– A pledge to keep workers’ rights in line with those in the EU
– Commitments on participation in EU agencies and funding programs, including in areas such as the environment, education, and industrial regulation
– Agreements on the detail of future security arrangements, including access to the European Arrest Warrant
