British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has called for a new comprehensive customs union with the EU after Brexit. Speaking in Coventry, central England, Corbyn said his Labour party also wants Britain to stay in the current EU customs union before a new deal is made. Corbyn says a new deal with the EU will ensure there are no tariffs with Europe, and help avoid any need for a hard border in Northern Ireland. He says Labour respects the British people's choice to leave the European Union, but it wants to get the best Brexit deal for jobs and living standards. In response to Corbyn's remarks, a spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said the government will not be joining a customs union and wants to have the freedom to sign its own trade deals.
