Labour's decision could damage Theresa May's hopes of winning support for a revised deal

February 25, 2019 Labour said it would put forward an amendment calling on the government to adopt its Brexit proposals, which include a permanent customs union with the EU and close alignment with the bloc's single market. "If parliament rejects our plan, then Labour will deliver on the promise we made at our annual conference and support a public vote," Labour's Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer said on Twitter. Parliament is not expected to back Labour's Brexit plan.

"There's no turning back for Jeremy now," Kyle said. Corbyn has been under pressure for some time to support a second referendum. Last week, eight referendum-supporting lawmakers quit the Labour Party, in part owing to frustration over his failure to back another vote.
