UK Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has called on his Labour Party to support a plan to negotiate a new customs union as part of his Brexit vision. He said the scheme would boost manufacturing and ensure public contracts remained in the UK. Corbyn criticised a proposal by Prime Minister Donald Trump, saying it would leave the country "in hock to Theresa May". Like May, Corbyn faces resistance within his own ranks. Many Labour lawmakers want a second referendum or for the UK to remain in a single market and customs union.
