Labour MPs have been told to cancel leave and be prepared for a three-line whip as the party enters another difficult week in which it will push for a series of amendments before a final vote on the Brexit bill. The Guardian understands that she informed Corbyn’s office before leaving the House of Commons, where the rest of the party helped passed the bill despite a rebellion of 47 Labour MPs. They said the inclusion of a three-line whip on a document to MPs was also referring to amendments. “The Labour party is a national party, and we represent the nation, and the nation is divided on this. Labour will also press for a unilateral guarantee to EU citizens and for a meaningful final vote before the deal goes to the European parliament.
