The U.K. Labour Party said it wants Britain to seek a new customs agreement with the European Union after Brexit, piling pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May by leaving her at the mercy of rebels in her own Conservative Party who also want such a deal with the bloc.
After weeks of discussions, the party’s leadership has “unanimously” agreed on a policy backing a customs deal and Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn will flesh out the details in a speech on Monday, his spokesman on Brexit, Keir Starmer, said. The party previously said it was open to the option of staying in a customs union with the bloc.
