LONDON, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Monday that it makes no sense for his country to abandon EU agencies and tariff-free trade which have served Britain well, marking an obvious shift in the party's Brexit policy.

The leader of the Labor Party stressed in a long-awaited speech on Brexit that Labor will want to remain part of agencies such as Euratom.

He also ruled out any deal that would risk the Good Friday Agreement.

In 1999, the Good Friday Agreement achieved peace in Northern Ireland after decades of unrest, in part by ensuring an open border and freedom of movement between the British-ruled North and the Republic of Ireland.

Maintaining the Agreements was set out by the EU as one of the three priorities for the first phase of Brexit talks.
