LONDON — U.K. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday signaled that his party will not support Britain’s continued membership of the European single market after Brexit.

In comments that will dismay many Europhile MPs within his own party, the opposition leader's official spokesman said there were “aspects” of single market membership that Corbyn opposed and the Labour party would instead support “access” to the single market for goods and services — as opposed to full membership.

Speaking in the House of Commons Wednesday, the Labour leader also railed against what he called “free trade dogma” and urged Prime Minister Theresa May to realign Britain’s place in the world with a trade policy that “values human rights and human dignity.”

Corbyn’s spokesman said the Labour leader opposed the pressure for privatization of public services and restrictions on state aid that accompany full single market membership.

“There’s a question of what the single market actually means because it’s often interpreted to mean the whole collection of treaties and directives around the four basic pillars of the EU in free trade, goods, services, labor and so on. There are aspects of that which Jeremy campaigned against in the referendum campaign,” the spokesman said.

The U.K. government has given mixed signals on its intentions with regards to the single market in recent days.

David Davis, the Brexit minister, said Monday that continued membership was “very improbable” on the grounds that freedom of movement is a condition of membership. Immigration was a key issue in Britain’s EU referendum and control of the borders is likely to be a red line for the government in future negotiations with Brussels.

However, May’s spokesperson said Tuesday that Davis had merely been “setting out his view.” The prime minister told MPs Wednesday that she would not be giving a “running commentary” on the U.K.’s negotiating position with regards to the single market question.
