EU support ‘inconsistent’ with Corbyn’s past form

LABOUR’S support for staying in the European Union is “completely inconsistent” with leader Jeremy Corbyn’s previous positions, MPs said yesterday.

Kate Hoey pointed out that Mr Corbyn had “always” voted with eurosceptic Labour MPs against further EU integration over the past 20 years.

Graham Stringer also said he was “surprised” at the party’s position and was going to raise the issue in meeting scheduled with Mr Corbyn yesterday.
