UK Labour party's Thornberry: Will vote against the Brexit withdrawal agreement bill

The UK opposition Labour party MP Emily Thornberry, as reported by ITV's political correspondent - Paul Brand, was noted saying that her party will vote against the Withdrawal Agreement Bill in June because as far as she can see there is very little difference between the bill and PM's original deal.

Meanwhile, the bearish pressure surrounding the British Pound now seems to have picked up the pace, with the GBP/USD pair finally breaking below the 1.2700 round figure mark and hitting fresh multi-month lows.
