No, that's not quite right, jfman. Labour stands for re-negotiated deal including a customs union or remain - and the Labour Party will campaign against its own deal.

An absolutely preposterous and confusing position to take.

By the way, the existing withdrawal agreement on offer already keeps us in the customs union, so he clearly means he wants a trade deal including the customs union. That means we won't have a say on the EU legislation that affects us and we cannot make any trade deals, which is the raison d'etre of Brexit. Basically, we would be better staying in the EU if ever it was seriously suggested that this was what was being negotiated.

As I said - totally confused.
