Labour MPs will not support a "blind" Brexit deal, Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer has warned. Starmer repeated Labour's demand for the "detailed, precise and substantive" deal the government had promised to put to MPs, saying Labour would vote against anything that does not provide full details of the UK's future relationship with the EU. The shadow foreign secretary said he was concerned about reports suggesting there could be no agreement on any kind of customs arrangement between Britain and EU after Brexit.

With negotiations on the terms of the withdrawal agreement expected to continue down to the wire, some MPs are concerned that little time will be left for parliamentary debate on it, meaning detailed trade negotiations will be left until the Brexit transition period.
