On Monday, the Labour Party announced it would push forward an amendment to the government’s Brexit motion—to be voted on by 12 March—that would make its “credible alternative plan” the U.K.’s Brexit negotiating position.
Party leader Jeremy Corbyn will tell a meeting Monday night that the party will back the amendment to take no-deal off the table as well as either proposing or supporting a further amendment in favour of a public vote—a second referendum, in other words—to prevent what it calls a “damaging Tory Brexit.” In a press release making the announcement, Corbyn also said he would seek “to enshrine Labour’s five Brexit demands in law.”
