He’s alleged to have told some bloke in a restaurant that he voted Leave.
Who knows

Does it matter? he wouldn't know honesty if it slapped him in the face.

[ichkeria]

My bet he voted Remain with his fingers crossed.

[-Talbot-]

Well, do you honestly think the man in this vid would vote remain?

For any MP, if you know their constituency, there are websites that'll tell you how "your" MP voted.

[ichkeria]

Not in the referendum tho. Only in parliament. The lobby voting system means voting cannot be secret. I’ve sometimes wondered if that’s a good thing.

If he voted true to his beliefs then he voted leave.

But tbh it doesn’t matter. It’s how he votes and acts now that matters but as he is such a lightweight his vote is weightless.

I think he voted leave.

Cob is a leaver at heart, he probably voted leave. Shortly after the vote he was berated by many remainers for not campaigning hard enough for Labour's official stance of remain.

Both?...…...Or Neither?

He voted Leave in 1975. I think officially he's said he voted Remain in 2016, but as ich says there are rumours to the contrary and he has been very eurosceptic throughout his career. He was obviously completely uninterested in campaigning for Remain, let alone voting for it.

Given that his core supporters in the party are overwhelmingly pro-Remain and that he also needs to somehow keep the support of Brexity Labour voters at the same time, I imagine for the moment he's happy to let both sides think he actually voted 'their' way.

Still, as others have said, his political instincts are fairly obviously in favour of Leave. Which means he is in all likelihood the most powerful Brexiter in parliament.

[Old_Geezer]

He can't be. He claims to think staying in the CU is compatible with leaving the EU.

[Kromovaracun]

He wants a bespoke Customs Union like Turkey has, not *the* customs union.

No ... because he doesn't have the courage of his convictions and, as such, he's cowardly and impotent.

How many of you have even bothered to open and read/watch the links...no be honest

[-Talbot-]

[fiction-factory]

I watched the link. Does that help?

[fiction-factory]

I can remmeber it was about 2009 regarding the Irish EU vote and he left no doubt as to his views on the EU and why we need to be independent of them.

[Cloverjo]

I'll be honest. I don't always open the links.
