Re: Brexit
Could some Labour MPs come to May's rescue?
Quote:
Up to 30 Labour MPs are considering defying their party leadership and voting for Theresa May’s Brexit deal — or abstaining — because they fear the economic consequences of the UK leaving the EU with no agreement.
Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, is expected to whip his MPs to vote against whatever deal the prime minister achieves because it is unlikely to meet his party’s “six tests” — in the hope that this could precipitate a general election.
But many of his own MPs are agonising about the risk of rejecting a May-brokered deal because the consequences could be a new, more Eurosceptic Conservative prime minister and a damaging no-deal Brexit.
