Labour is plotting to hijack Boris Johnson's Brexit deal this week with demands to hold a second referendum.
Sir Keir Starmer and John McDonnell said this morning that the party was likely to support an amendment for a second Brexit vote in Parliament in the coming days - along with "dozens" of others.
The party has pledged to try and wreck Boris' Brexit deal when it comes back to the Commons from tomorrow.
That could include amendments for a second vote, or ones for a customs union with the EU after Brexit.
Such a move would cause a huge headache for the Government, as MPs could be persuaded to back a softer version of Brexit.
And in a shock move, Sir Keir said if a second amendment passes then Labour could even back Boris Johnson's deal.
The PM has to push through the Withdrawal Act Bill before Brexit can happen on October 31.
