Labour threatens tie-up with Tory rebels over post-Brexit customs union

London

BRITAIN'S opposition Labour Party on Sunday warned that it could team up with Conservative rebels to force the country to become part of an EU customs union, a move that could threaten Theresa May's government.

Labour's Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer warned Mrs May that "crunch time is coming" over her Brexit plans, which she will set out on Friday, although she has always said Britain would not remain a member of the EU customs union.
