Mr Corbyn And Brexit

[mushroom25]

where does the leader of the opposition stand? a leaked document today suggests he and the PM have hatched a plan to thwart making acceptance of any deal conditional on it including a second referendum...

if that's true, he would appear to be at odds with his own parliamentary party. if he's so much the advocate of democracy, why is he making secret deals and not letting his party have a say on its own policy?

If true it is unlikely to come to anything now it is out.

"....why is he making secret deals and not letting his party have a say on its own policy?"

Because he's spent too much time in the same room as Mrs May.

[dannyk13]

He has walked away from the discussions so it is unlikely that anything will come of anything.

has politics floundered on sea of brexit ? never heard that expression before I may use it again if you will excuse the pun

[JF85]

He has only ever pushed his own agenda and doesn't deserve to represent anyone, but let's not lose sight of the root of this impasse. A Conservative Prime Minister arranged a referendum in the hope of settling disagreements in the Conservative Party. He lost.

A new Conservative Prime Minister inherited the parliamentary majority she needed to see it through, but felt a general election would help her settle disputes in the Conservative Party. She lost.

To cling to power, the Conservative Government handed over the magic money tree to a fringe party, but overlooked the peculiar status of the land that fringe party came from. They now want to abandon Northern Ireland in an attempt to settle arguments within the Conservative Party.

Throwing one country under a bus seems careless, but to hand a strong mandate to independence campaigners in another makes me wonder how 'British' they want the future to be. The unifying voice of the Conservative Party.

Of course, as you can probably tell from my post, I believe Jeremy Corbyn is entirely responsible. Still surprising that the isolationist tendency are so frightened of him. His own party aren't.

'he would appear to be at odds with his own parliamentary party'

No change there then.

[ichkeria]

Lol yes hold the front page.
I can’t see what was such a “bombshell” about any of this.
And as the talks have now ended ...

Another Smear Corbyn article from the oh-so-impartial Evening Standard.

[dannyk13]

Canary 42., How is this a smear on anybody?

[cassa333]

Danny, Canary uses the ‘it’s a smear’ tactic in pretty much the same way the left and remainers like to shout you’re a racist to Brexiteers. In their minds it should shut you up and prove no point in particular while making themselves feel slightly vindicated.

[naomi24]

Canary, Corbyn doesn't need newspapers to smear him. He does that well enough for himself.

[ichkeria]

If there was ever going to be a deal between May and Corbyn it was going to involve agreeing things neither side would like.

[fender62]

pity we do not have executive order, i assume we would have left the eu if we had ?

Good evening, Birdie.
