Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 December 2018. It occurred during Debate on European Union (Withdrawal) Act.


European Union (Withdrawal) Act

We will know the outcome of that next Tuesday, when the vote takes place in this House, but any analysis of this deal would show that it is unacceptable and should be defeated in this House.

Should the backstop come into force, there is no time limit or end point. It locks Britain into a deal from which it cannot leave. Remember that: it cannot leave without the agreement of the EU.
