Labour back tracks and betrays the British public over Brexit.

Boris Johnson comparing the Irish border to the London congestion charge zone not going down well in Ireland.

By David Scullion.
"Making his pitch in front of a driverless car, Corbyn said Labour would negotiate “a new comprehensive UK-EU customs union” to prevent tariffs and a hard border in Northern Ireland. "

"In other words, Labour’s Britain would be a passenger, letting the likes of Jean-Claude Juncker and Michel Barnier drive our policy on trade. But Corbyn also said Labour wouldn’t accept a deal that left the UK “a passive recipient of rules”. He said any deal struck by Labour would need to ensure the UK has a say in future trade deals."

Oh well good luck with that Jezza! You really think you could get Barnier and Juncker to agree to a bespoke 'have your cake and eat it' deal?

As has been pointed out, most Remainers see a victory - BUT they seem to forget Corbyn won't be doing the negotiating.

He can promise his drooling admirers the moon, but it's only words. (He likes to promise such a lot, doesn't he? It's going to be soooo costly should he ever become PM. Gird your loins taxpayers. )

The driver-less cars were a good backdrop for him as he spoke yesterday. He would be happy to allow the EU to remain steering the UK just where it wants.

I'm not surprised. I am beginning to wonder why anyone thought he was intelligent.

Because, alas, if you say things in a way that makes [some]people think you know what you're talking about, they believe you. Especially when half the newspapers in this country back you up....

Sounds similar to Gransnetting

day6 did you read the Dan Roberts article? I think you might find that illuminating

I’m not sure that is an appropriate question to ask on a thread bridgeit it could lead to a lot of unpleasantness

More fool them for not being intelligent enough to see what a buffoon he is then Tegan. He really is a very silly man.

Yes I know & apologies for that, but as this has happened more than once & I only go on couple of threads I just wondered if it is just me. Don’t worry I won’t comment further on here ladies.

GGM2 you posted Corbyn’s own words just yesterday:
‘ the EU is not the source of all enlightenment and Leaving does not spell doom’.So yes, he did say that.

I will pm you Bridgeit ?

What makes Corbyn think that Barnier and others would do what he wants?
They wouldn't.

Because Corbyn's Brexit team have been having reasonable discussions with Barnier and others in the EU for quite a time?
They haven't been threatening the EU like May and team.

"On leaving the single market and customs union being like "giving up a three course meal for a promise of a packet of crisps in the future". I once caught the night bus with someone who had a packet of Monster Munch which lasted about an hour. It was like witnessing a miracle."

I prefer to read and believe 'Trade Unions Against the EU'
Some people might be interested in the fact that 1000s of tonnes of over produced food in the eu is sold onto Africa, therefore local producers can't compete.
Not everyone in Africa is happy with the 'free trade deals' they view it as more colonialism.

Better tell that to Fox then. He’s swallowed Adam Smith entirely

The extreme left takeover of the Labour Party continues unabated. Corbyn has just appointed an ex communist ( who are we kidding ex) Andrew Murray as his consultant. This is the same Andrew Murray who supported Stalin and North Korea. Momentums Jon lansman is trying to become party general secretary.

Calm down, wally. Lots of people are trying to become general secretary.

Consultant for what?

I didn’t know Stalin was still in power.

He was a Stalin apologist.

Bit OTT wally

It's the absolute truth whitewave

Be very careful what you wish for folks.
