London – The leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn warned the EU’s Brexit chief Michel Barnier of the dangers of a “no-deal” Brexit when he visited Brussels yesterday;

He said on Wednesday Labour would vote against a Brexit deal based on Theresa May’s proposals, the strongest warning yet to a prime minister whose plan to leave EU is hanging by a thread;

May has said the EU needs to show Britain respect and come up with their own alternatives to her so-called “Chequers” proposals, which EU leaders rejected at a summit in Austria last week; and

“With just weeks of negotiating time left, it’s clear that UK-EU Brexit talks are in a perilous state. Time is running out and companies are losing patience with the absence of any clarity from the government,” Corbyn said in a statement.
