Why is one UK Labour MP defying his own party on Brexit policy?

0:00

23:21

With Brexit the main preoccupation for politicians in Britain,
the opposition Labour Party has announced a shift in policy which
would see the UK retaining most of the elements of its current
relationship with the EU. It wants Britain to have full access to
the single market and stay a member of the customs union. But
that does not go far enough for some staunchly pro-EU members of
the party who want Britain to stay part of the European Economic
Area. HARDtalk’s Zeinab Badawi speaks to Labour MP and prominent
EU campaigner Chuka Umunna about challenging the Conservative
government and his own Labour Party leadership on Brexit.
