Ah, so that's what's been happening during my internet absence. How utterly astonishingly unpredictable.
Can we please now agree that Corbyn is neither a) nice b) sensible or c) even a better choice than May ? How in God's name do you expect anti-austerity measures to be even remotely credible if we exit the single market ?
Sigh...
Labour MPs who back staying in the EU single market have vowed to keep the pressure up on the government and their own leadership in the Brexit process. Fifty Labour MPs defied Jeremy Corbyn's orders and backed single market membership in a vote on Thursday. Three of them were subsequently sacked as frontbenchers. The BBC understands the rebels think up to 90 Labour MPs back their cause and they could work with Tory MPs who also want a "soft Brexit" in future votes.

He's probably still a better choice than May. I can foresee Labour being defeated heavily in a snap election called by whoever the new Tory leader is once they finally dump her though.
ReplyDeletePossibly. It feels like both Labour and the Tories are determined to field their worst possible candidates, though the Tories might have a chance at actually seeing sense (by Tory standards, that is) whereas Labour are very much stuck with what they've got.
