Jeremy Corbyn in Parliament today

THERESA MAY’s “empty” draft agreement on Britain’s future dealings with the European Union represents the “worst of all worlds,” Jeremy Corbyn said today.

In the Commons, the Prime Minister confirmed that the draft political declaration on the framework of this country’s post-Brexit relationship with the EU had been agreed, after it was leaked by Brussels earlier that day.

European Commission president Jean Claude-Juncker said it has been “agreed at negotiators’ level and agreed in principle at political level, subject to the endorsement of the leaders” at a summit on Sunday.
