«Breaking News» Labour's soft Brexit deal could be agreed 'in weeks' John McDonnell claims

Labour's plan for a soft Brexit could be agreed in a matter of weeks with Brussels, shadow chancellor John McDonnell claimed today. 

Mr McDonnell said the EU has already 'looked positively' on the proposals which are based around a new customs union between Britain and Brussels. 

Labour wants to negotiate a British 'say' on trade deals signed by the bloc in future - but admit it would rule out UK-specific deals sought by Brexiteers. 

The proposals break Theresa May's red lines but were seized upon by Brussels after her deal was crushed by MPs in January.

Labour is pushing its plans again this week as the Prime Minister faces near certain defeat in a second vote on on the deal within weeks. 

Mr McDonnell told the BBC's Andrew Marr today: 'We could agree ... Labour's deal within a matter of weeks - the European Union has looked positively on that

'In all the discussions we've had they see that as the foundation of a proper negotiation.' 

Mr McDonnell said he expected a three month delay to be agreed by the EU if and when Mrs May's deal is voted down on Tuesday night.

In the event of defeat, Mrs May has promised MPs will get to vote on delaying Brexit on Thursday - a day after they vote on whether to accept a no deal Brexit. 

Elsewhere today, shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has said he expects Tuesday's Commons debate to end with a single vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal.

'I think there is a growing feeling that this Tuesday should be a straight up-and-down vote on that deal,' he told Sky News's Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme.

'I don't know whether something dramatic will happen in the next 24 hours but unless it does, exactly the same deal is going to be put before Parliament.

'That is eight weeks of failure to come back and present exactly what was rejected so on Tuesday that has got to be exposed.'

Sir Keir said he still expected there would be an opportunity for MPs to vote for a second referendum in the days ahead, either on a Labour amendment or one tabled by backbenchers.

'It doesn't mean that a public vote is gone. It doesn't mean we won't come to it. We will have to work with others,' he said. 'There is going to be plenty of opportunities for amendments.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
