LONDON — The Brexit spokesman for Britain’s main opposition party admitted Wednesday that his colleagues are divided over the issue, as British and European businesses sound increasingly urgent warnings about the economic damage the UK’s exit from the EU could cause. The Labour Party’s Keir Starmer said “there are very divided views” among Labour lawmakers over whether Britain should try to remain in the EU’s single market after Brexit. “But we are not in that position.”ADVERTISEMENTSome Labour lawmakers want Britain to remain in the single market to minimize disruption to the UK economy after Brexit. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is calling instead for the UK to have “full access” to the single market. But her Conservative party is also divided between supporters of “hard” and “soft” Brexit.
