The Labour Party has promised to seek amendments to Brexit legislation, including a continued customs union with the Parliament and a second referendum. It says it may vote for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s withdrawal plan if the electorate can vote on it, with the option of remaining. A Johnson spokesman, however, said the government was opposed to the Labour Party’s suggestions. MP Justine Greening, elected as a Conservative but sitting as an independent after having the whip withdrawn, said Brexit would not be over even if Johnson’s deal was approved, and EU needed time to scrutinise the plan.
