LONDON (Reuters) – Britains main opposition Labour Party will not vote for a Brexit deal that offers little more than a “bridge to nowhere”, its foreign policy spokeswoman said on Sunday, increasing pressure on Prime Minister Theresa May.

“I think they (the government) are going to come along and give us … a ridiculous binary choice,” Emily Thornberry told the BBCs Andrew Marr show.
“Frankly if she (May) comes back with something which is just a fudge that shes cooked up with Brussels and it doesnt meet our tests, we are not going to vote for it … Were not stupid, were not voting for something that is essentially a bridge to nowhere.”
