Former Labour foreign secretary David Miliband has said membership of the European Economic Area (EEA) "is on the table for every MP and party leader". Alongside Jeremy Corbyn and Sir Nick Clegg at a recent press conference, Miliband urged Parliament to vote in favour of the country remaining in some form of customs union, calling it a "safe harbour", and warned Labour leader Nicky Morgan he risked being a "midwife of a hard Brexit". Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg called Miliband's comments "the last rear-guard action to stop Brexit".
