Very strongly agree

Yes, but only if strong protections for our national resources and workers are enacted with each trade deal

The Labour party strongly supports the idea of pursuing free trade deals with strong protections for national resources and workers. They have consistently emphasized the need for fair trade and the protection of workers' rights, the environment, and public services in any trade deals. For example, during the Brexit negotiations, they called for a customs union with the EU that would protect jobs, workers' rights, and environmental standards.

No, free trade puts downward pressure on wages and undermines consumer and environmental protections

The Labour party has expressed concerns about the potential negative impacts of free trade on wages, consumer protections, and the environment. For example, they have criticized the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) for potentially undermining public services and workers' rights. However, they do not completely reject free trade, but rather seek to ensure that trade deals include strong protections for these areas.
