UK opposition to push for soft Brexit changes to EU repeal bill - The Times

LONDON (Reuters) - The opposition Labour Party will propose changes to the government's EU repeal bill to ensure it does not exclude Britain remaining in the single market and customs union as part of a transitional Brexit period, The Times reported.

 

On Thursday, British lawmakers will hold their first full parliamentary debate on legislation dubbed the 'Great Repeal Bill' which will sever the country's ties with the European Union.

 

Their first opportunity to put forward amendments to the bill, either proposing changes or adding new clauses, comes at a later stage.

 

Labour will call on Prime Minister Theresa May to make a series of changes including allowing parliament to replicate any new EU laws on employment rights, the environment and consumer protection, The Times reported, citing a letter sent by Labour's Brexit spokesman to minister David Davis.

 

The party, led by leftist Jeremy Corbyn, will also say that Britain should continue to participate in the customs union, single market and the European Court of Justice during a transitional period. It is hoping to attract support from pro-European Conservative lawmakers.

 

Labour did not offer an immediate comment when contacted by Reuters on Saturday.

 

The party said last week that it wanted to keep Britain in the European single market and customs union for a while after Britain formally leaves the EU in 2019, offering an alternative to the Conservative government's stance.

 

The legislation's passage through parliament could make or break May's future after she lost her outright parliamentary majority in a June snap election, reopening the debate on the nature of Brexit.

will it ever end, this constant battle and change of views

"Soft Brexit".  A term invented on 24th June 2016 by Remainers meaning "to not Brexit".

This is a betrayal of the millions of Labour supporters who voted for Brexit. It is also an example of why many people have little respect for politicians.

This is an act of solidarity with the millions of Labour supporters who voted against Brexit. It is also an example of why so many people respect politicians.

But they've broken their election promise of a clean Brexit, no transitional period mentioned. That's why a lot of their general election votes came from Brexiteers.

But you already know this don't you?

No it's not actually. It's a demonstration, again, of Corbyn's believe that he can talk anyone into anything, e.g.:

his attempts to negotiate with Sinn Fein and Povisional IRA leaders believing they would be reasonable

his believe that various Palestine liberation terrorist groups could also be reasonable

his believe that talking to ISIS and negotiating with them is the way to stop their murderous terrorist activities

his believe that removing the UK's nuclear deterrent will mean no one would ever threaten the UK with nuclear weapons,

his believe that nationalization and government controlled economies are the way forward

etc, etc etc.

 

Jeremy Corbyn has been anti EU ever since the UK joined the Common Market. His half-hearted attempt to support the Remain side as Labor leader were much criticized in the UK including by many prominent Labor party members.

 

No one voted for a "soft" Brexit btw.

I sense a little bias here.

On top of that, the proposal is only for the transitional period, not to remain.

Since when have the palestine liberation groups been unreasonable. They are heroes like the French Resistance fighting for a just cause. The Israel government like you, call them  terrorists. Shame on you. Corbyn is one of the few courageous politicians who has the guts to stand up  for them.

Bravo. 100% agreement!

The EU is going to make it as difficult as possible for England to depart their disastrous setup, purely to discourage every other intelligent government from trying to follow suite. Get out asap and get some decent sausages on the supermarket shelves :)
