LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer said today that he could back Boris Johnson’s new Brexit legislation if the PM addresses “substantial cross-party concerns” over the Internal Market Bill.

Mr Starmer raised further objections over the Bill that the government proposed last week, that seeks to override parts of the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) that relate to Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland is currently supposed to adhere to some EU regulations after the transition period ends on December 31, in a bid to stop a “hard border” with the Republic.
