THIS critical stage in the Brexit debate is a time for the Labour left to present a united front. If you listen to some on the pro-Leave side, you would think most remainers in the Labour Party are neoliberals, longing for a return to some sort of pre-2016 utopia when the members kept quiet and party policy was dictated by centrist triangulation, instead of our democratic membership.
But in recent weeks, as the Brexit chaos has turned into a government meltdown, the left-wing opposition to Brexit — a quiet majority within Labour — has finally come to the forefront of the debate in the party and in the country. This is the perspective voiced by the Love Socialism Hate Brexit group of MPs, of which I am proud to be a part.
Love Socialism Hate Brexit was formed to oppose Brexit because it is a right-wing Tory project — an assault on the environment, migrants and the working-class communities that Labour exists to represent. Brexit is draining our politics, drowning out the real issues that we need to be dealing with.
