The Labour Party has put forward an amendment that would allow Parliament to vote on potential future options for the country, including on whether or not to hold a second referendum on the Brexit's membership of the EU. The amendment, which aims principally to prevent a no-deal Brexit, would also include votes on other solutions, such as agreeing to a customs union. Labour, which has been reluctant to back a second referendum over fears of losing support, stressed the amendment did not mean the party supports the measure, rather that it wants to consider every available option.
