UK MPs to be given new vote on Brexit customs union within weeks - Evening Standard reports
The Commons will get a new vote on a customs union in a few weeks in order to try to break the Brexit deadlock, amid warnings that Theresa May’s Conservatives are walking into a “wipe-out” in the European elections, Evening Standard reported.
Veteran MP Frank Field told the Standard that he plans to move a motion with the Father of the House, Kenneth Clarke, to show that a smooth trading bloc is a solution that commands cross-party support.
Mr. Field’s move came as polls showed Tory support plunging following Mrs. May’s decision to allow European elections to go ahead if she fails to get her thrice-rejected withdrawal agreement through the Commons.
A YouGov survey found the Tories down to 28 percent in Westminster elections and 16 percent in the European contest.
