BBC Europe – ‘Detailed’ Brexit plan demanded by main UK opposition party ahead of vote. The government has so far refused a “running commentary” on its strategy. Labour, which has been demanding more information, has called the debate. The party’s Brexit spokesman Sir Keir Starmer said his party would continue to challenge the government if its plan was “not detailed enough”.
