Juncker: EU can go no further to accommodate UK on Brexit
In response to the latest developments, Brexit spokesman Sir Keir Starmer will request an emergency debate in parliament on the length and purpose of any extension to the Article 50 Brexit negotiation period, the party said on Twitter.
Labour MP Alison McGovern is to file a motion on Wednesday seeking an emergency debate on the Brexit issue. Her office is reported as saying that this would be about the length of the Article 50 extension. However, the European commission president, Jean-Claude Juncker, said on German radio on Wednesday morning that a decision on a delay to Brexit was unlikely at this week’s EU summit and the union’s leaders may have to meet again next week.
However, it is still looking tight for her to gain the support of Eurosceptic Tory and DUP MPs for her deal or more Labour votes. If it fails again, she is expected to proceed to allow parliament to set out what it could agree as a way forward, such as a softer Brexit or a second referendum.
