Labour will back the government's Brexit bill but will hold the government to account throughout the negotiation process, Labour's Keir Starmer has said during a Commons debate.

The shadow Brexit secretary said that while Labour would back the bill the prime minister should not imaging she could "do what she likes" as a result.

He said the bill would not "give the prime minister a blank cheque", but only allow to "start the Artcile 50 process".
