Responding to Labour proposals to back Conservative rebels over Brexit, Tom Brake, Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson, said:

“It’s entertaining to see the  Labour front bench attempting to have a backbone, but it’s too little too late.

“Despite similar posturing back in March, Corbyn and Starmer backed the Tories to trigger Article 50, and they are still denying the British people a say on the final deal.

“Only the Lib Dems are offering an exit from Brexit, and an opportunity for the UK to remain a member of the EU.”
