The Labour Party is set to vote against any Brexit deal Theresa May secures with Brussels according to Emily Thornberry who is the party’s shadow foreign secretary. Thornberry has said she “can’t see” the government coming back with an agreement that meets Labour’s six tests on Brexit.
Thornberry told the Financial Times:
I can’t see them coming back with a deal that is going to meet our six tests and I can’t see them coming back with a deal that will unite the Tory party…
We’re either going to have a general election in the autumn or we’re going to have it in the spring.
Even if [the government] comes back in October, November, and they say, ‘this flimsy bit of paper is what you’re going to have to agree to, otherwise there’ll be no deal’. We’re not going to agree to either of those.”
A Labour source said: “Our policy is unchanged, but like a lot of shadow frontbenchers Ms Thornberry is pessimistic about the prospects of this government negotiating a good deal.”
