Corbyn lambasts government over Brexit ‘shambles’

JEREMY CORBYN derided the government yesterday for its lack of cohesion over Brexit and its bias in favour of bankers after they received a guarantee of continued freedom of movement after Britain leaves the EU.

The Labour leader, speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions ahead of the Budget announcement, branded the government’s approach to the EU withdrawal process a “shambles.”

He urged PM Theresa May to clarify how the Irish border will operate after Brexit and accused the government of seeking to weaken workers’ rights and environmental protections.
