Jeremy Corbyn has said his MPs could not support a “blindfold” Brexit with no indication of the future arrangements.
The Labour leader said: “There’s no way out of it once you have signed it and gone into it and we are not prepared to support the prime minister on this.
“We want to see a discussion about both the issues and, in particular, the crucial future arrangements and that is why we have proposed a customs union and access to markets and, crucially, protection of consumer, environmental and working rights.”
Mr Corbyn said Labour would not seek to amend Friday’s motion, “we will vote against it”.
He added that on Monday MPs would have another chance to consider the issues, where Labour would put forward its position on an “economic relationship which also gives us those guarantees and does not lead us into the direction of turning this country into some kind of low-tax, offshore, deregulated economy, opening ourselves up to American trade arrangements”.
